2025 Fantasy Outlook
Ray saw increased playing time in his second year in Carolina, improving as both a pass rusher and run stopper while recording 41 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, over 591 defensive snaps. The Panthers bolstered their defensive line in free agency by signing Tershawn Wharton and Bobby Brown, addressing a unit that struggled across the board in 2024. As a result, Ray is likely to serve as a backup defensive end this season. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a contract with the Panthers in March of 2025.
Out at least one month
The Panthers placed Ray (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday, which rules him out for at least the first four games of the regular season, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Ray will spend a minimum of four games on IR as he works to recover from a mild high-ankle sprain suffered in mid-August. Once fully healthy, Ray is expected to contribute as a rotational defensive lineman for Carolina. He recorded 41 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, across 16 regular-season games with the team in 2024.
