Panthers' Will Lee: Questionable to face New Orleans
Lee (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Lee injured his hamstring against the Packers in Week 8, which prevented him from playing in Week 9 against the Broncos. He was a full participant in practice both Wednesday and Thursday, but his reps were limited during Friday's session, which may have been for maintenance reasons. Regardless, Lee's official status for Sunday's NFC South tilt may not be officially known until the Panthers announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Mike Jackson (groin, IR) is listed as doubtful, so it's unclear who the Panthers will turn to at outside cornerback opposite Malcolm DeWalt if Lee is unable to play.

Panthers' Will Lee: Past hamstring injury
Lee (hamstring) was estimated as a full participant on Wednesday's practice report.
Lee missed last Sunday's loss to the Broncos after he was injured 10 days prior in the Week 8 loss to the Packers. Marco Wilson and Corey Thornton handled most of the cornerback snaps in Week 9 against Denver, but Lee appears ready to return to action.

Panthers' Will Lee: Slated to sit out Week 9
Lee has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Denver due to a hamstring injury.
Lee hurt his hamstring last Thursday against Green Bay and was unable to participate in practice at all this week. As such, it's not surprising that he won't suit up Sunday. Marco Wilson may be elevated from the Panthers' practice squad to start again versus the Broncos.

Panthers' Will Lee: Absent again from practice
Lee (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.
Lee sustained a hamstring injury during the loss to the Packers in Week 8. Now, he's in danger of missing his first game of the 2026 campaign, which wouldn't be an ideal scenario for a Carolina team that is already thin at the cornerback position. If Lee is ruled out against the Broncos, the Panthers may need to look to the practice squad to fill the void.

Panthers' Will Lee: Day to day
Lee (hamstring) is day to day but should have a chance to "test" his injury this week, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Lee suffered the hamstring injury during Carolina's loss to Green Bay on Thursday night. The fourth-round pick has played a starting role for the Panthers in the wake of injuries to corners Jaycee Horn (quadriceps), Mike Jackson (groin) and Akayleb Evans (triceps).

Panthers' Will Lee: Suffers hamstring injury Thursday
Lee is dealing with a hamstring injury and is doubtful to return to Thursday's Week 8 matchup against Green Bay, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Lee was hurt in the first half and was deemed doubtful to return shortly before halftime. In the expected event that Lee can't re-enter the contest, Marco Wilson and Malcolm DeWalt will likely handled much of the cornerback snaps for Carolina.

Panthers' Will Lee: Picked by Carolina
The Panthers selected Lee in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 129th overall.
Lee (6-foot-2, 189 pounds) is a bit light and might have below-average speed for a starting corner (4.52-second 40), but he has excellent reach for press coverage (32 and 3/4-inch arms) and stood out as starter for Texas A&M the last two years. Lee had to work his way up from Iowa Western Community College (2021-22) and Kansas State (2023) before that, holding serve with each jump in competition. Defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero is one of the best defensive backs coaches in the league, so Lee landed in a good spot.
