Activated Wednesday
Crumedy (ankle) was activated from the Panthers' injured reserve list Wednesday, Kassidy Hill of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie from Mississippi State missed the Panthers' first nine games this season after sustaining an ankle injury in early August, but he's now in line to make his NFL debut Sunday. Expect Crumedy to serve as one of Carolina's top rotational interior defensive lineman when the Panthers face the Giants in Germany in Week 10.

Staying on IR for Week 9
Crumedy (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Crumedy was a full practice participant all week, but he'll have to wait another game before being activated off injured reserve. The rookie-sixth round pick began the regular season on IR after spraining his ankle during the Panthers' preseason opener in August. His next chance at suiting up will be Week 10 against the Giants on Sunday, Nov. 10.

Doubtful for Week 9
Crumedy (ankle) has been deemed doubtful to suit up Sunday versus the Saints.
ANALYSIS
Crumedy sprained his ankle in Carolina's preseason opener and has been on IR since late August. He was designated to return Oct. 16 and has participated in full at every practice for the past three weeks, but it appears he may not be ready for game action yet. Carolina will need to activate Crumedy on or before Nov. 6 or he'll be required to miss the rest of the season.

Won't play Sunday
The Panthers announced Saturday that Crumedy (ankle) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Crumedy was initially listed as questionable Week 8, but Carolina ultimately won't activate him from IR in time to suit up for action Sunday. The rookie sixth-round pick practiced in full all week, so he could have a solid chance at being cleared to play Week 9 versus New Orleans.

Questionable for Sunday
Crumedy (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
Crumedy practiced in full all week and appears to nearly be past his ankle injury, but he still must be activated to Carolina's active roster in order to suit up Sunday. If the 2024 sixth-round pick isn't activated in time for Week 8's contest, expect Jonathan Harris to see additional work on the Panthers' defensive line.

Practices in full
Crumedy (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
The 2024 sixth-round pick out of Mississippi State has yet to make his NFL debut after being placed on injured reserve with an ankle injury in late August. However, Crumedy was designated to return from IR on Wednesday and was a full participant in practice, suggesting he's almost past his ankle issue. Expect the rookie to serve as a depth piece on the Panthers' defensive line once he's activated to the active roster.

Designated for return to practice
The Panthers announced Wednesday that Crumedy (ankle) has been designated to return to practice from IR, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Crumedy's 21-day practice window now opens, and Carolina can activate him to the 53-man roster at any point in that span. The extent of Crumedy's activity in practice will serve as an indication of his chances of being available for Sunday's road matchup against the Commanders. Once fully healthy, the rookie sixth-round pick will hope to bolster a Panthers defensive line that's working to compensate for the loss of Derrick Brown (knee).

Verge of return
Crumedy (ankle) is expected to be designated to return from injured reserve this week, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Crumedy was placed on IR before the season started and has missed the mandatory four games. His designation to return will allow him to return to practice with the team, but that doesn't guarantee he'll return to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears. More clarity on his potential return will likely have to wait until later in the week.

Placed on IR with high-ankle sprain
The Panthers placed Crumedy (ankle) on injured reserve Thursday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Crumedy sustained a high-ankle sprain in the Panthers' preseason opener against the Patriots. The injury kept him out of Carolina's last two exhibition contests, and Crumedy will now be required to sit out for at least the first four games of the regular season. The rookie sixth-round pick is eligible to return for Week 5 against the Bears on Oct. 6.

Dealing with high-ankle sprain
Crumedy sustained a high-ankle sprain in Thursday's 17-3 preseason loss to the Patriots, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
ANALYSIS
Crumedy was carted off the field in the second quarter and finished the contest without recording a tackle. Given the severity of the injury, the rookie sixth-round pick will likely be unavailable for the last two games of the preseason and could be in jeopardy of missing the Panthers' regular-season opener against the Saints on Sept. 8. That opens the door for LaBryan Ray, Junior Aho and Jayden Peevy to play more snaps and compete for a depth spot at defensive end behind starters A'Shawn Robinson and Derrick Brown.

Leaves game with ankle injury
Crumedy left in the second quarter of Thursday's preseason game against the Patriots due to an ankle injury and is questionable to return, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
After leaving the field, Crumedy was taken to the locker room in a cart, per Gantt. The rookie sixth-round pick did not record a tackle before exiting Thursday's game. Junior Aho is in line to see more reps at defensive end in Crumedy's absence.
