Panthers Activating DL Tershawn Wharton, Among Other Moves

Wharton was on the PUP list after undergoing neck surgery in May. Moton was out with issues relating to blood clots in his lungs. Also being activated is RB Trevor Etienne.

They also brought up RB Anthony Tyus III and CB Robert Rochell from the practice squad by standard elevation.

Wharton, 28, signed with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent out of Missouri S&T following the 2020 NFL Draft. He made the team in each of his first three seasons. 

He re-signed with Kansas City to a one-year deal in back-to-back years before departing for a three-year, $54 million contract with the Panthers in 2025.  

In 2025, Wharton appeared in nine games for the Panthers and recorded 36 tackles, two sacks, and a pass defense.
