Panthers' Xavier Woods: Restructures contract for 2023
The Panthers restructured Woods' contract Thursday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Woods, who signed a three-year contract last offseason, was due a roster bonus March 19, per Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer. Because of the 27-year-old's recent contract adjustment, Carolina now saves $1.64 million against the cap if it were to have been a standard restructure. Woods operated as an every-down secondary member for the Panthers this past season, tallying 86 tackles and six passes defensed across 15 matchups suited up for.

Panthers' Xavier Woods: Dressing for Week 15
Woods (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
After sitting out last week's win over the Seahawks due to the knee injury, Woods checks back into the lineup after he practiced on a limited basis Wednesday and Thursday before upgrading to full activity Friday. Though the Panthers ultimately listed him as questionable heading into Sunday, Woods will suit up and shouldn't have any limitations in his return. The fact that Carolina chose to place another safety (Juston Burris) on the inactive list supports the notion that Woods isn't expected to face any restrictions.

Panthers' Xavier Woods: Limited once again
Woods (knee) logged a limited practice Thursday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Woods was unable to practice in full for the second consecutive day, following his inability to suit up Week 14 against the Seahawks. He'll have one more opportunity Friday to ramp up his activity and shed his injury designation, or he'll likely become a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's contest against the Steelers.

Panthers' Xavier Woods: Won't play Sunday
Woods (knee) is inactive Sunday against the Seahawks, Darin Gantt of team's official site reports.
Woods suffered the injury in the team's Week 12 win over the Broncos, which was followed by a bye week. Still recovering from the injury, Woods closed out the week with a limited practice Friday, but he'll still need more time to heal. In his absence, Juston Burris will likely be the next man up for the Panthers at strong safety.

Panthers' Xavier Woods: Remains limited Friday
Woods (knee) logged a limited practice Friday and remains questionable to play Sunday versus the Seahawks.
Woods exited the Panthers' Week 12 win over the Broncos early with a knee injury and has remained hobbled by the injury following the team's Week 13 bye. His ability to participate in some capacity at each of Carolina's practices this week bodes well for his chances to play Sunday, but his status is worth monitoring heading into the weekend. If Woods is unable to go, Juston Burris would stand to step up in Week 14.

Panthers' Xavier Woods: Practices in limited fashion
Woods (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice, per the team's official site.
Woods sustained an apparent knee injury during the Panthers' Week 12 win over Denver, which caused him to depart the contest, though he fortunate the team had a Week 13 bye for his recovery purposes. Now that the 27-year-old has logged some practice activity prior to Sunday's contest versus Seattle, there's a decent shot he'll be able to avoid missing any time. If that's not the case, however, Jeremy Chinn and Juston Burris would likely command Carolina's safety duties for the time being.

Panthers' Xavier Woods: Questionable to return
Woods is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos with a knee injury, Schuyler Callihan of SI.com reports.
Woods recorded five tackles before exiting with a knee injury at some point during Sunday's contest. With fellow safeties Myles Hartsfield (ankle) and Juston Burris (coach's decision) both inactive, Sam Franklin and Sean Chandler should see increased usage alongside Jeremy Chinn for the time being.

Panthers' Xavier Woods: Ready to go for Week 6
Woods (hamstring) was a full participant at practice Friday, Darin Gantt of the team's official website reports.
After missing the Panthers' Week 5 loss to the 49ers while nursing a sore hamstring, Woods will be ready to go for Sunday's matchup with the Rams. With both Jaycee Horn (ribs) and Donte Jackson (ankle) banged up heading into the contest, the 26-year-old's return to the secondary is a welcomed one.
