Panthers' Trevin Wallace: Productive in scaled-back role
Rotowire
Wallace recorded six tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 22-16 loss at Philadelphia.
Wallace's defensive snap count of 37 was his lowest since Week 4, but he remains firmly fixed as the Panthers' second option at inside linebacker behind Josey Jewell. He could be called on more frequently in Week 15 versus the pass-happy Cowboys.

Panthers' Trevin Wallace: Logs first career sack Sunday
Rotowire
Wallace recorded five total tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the Buccaneers.
Wallace was one of four Panthers defenders to record a sack in the Week 13 loss, bringing down Baker Mayfield for an eight-yard loss in overtime that led to a missed 55-yard field goal from Chase McLaughlin. The 2024 third-round pick was thrust into a starting role after Shaq Thompson tore his Achilles in Week 4, recording 55 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and two forced fumbles in eight games since. Wallace is expected to remain one of the Panthers' top defensive playmakers in a Week 14 matchup against the Eagles.

Panthers' Trevin Wallace: Nine more tackles in defeat
Rotowire
Wallace recorded nine tackles (six solo), one forced fumble and one fumble recovery in the Panthers' loss to the Falcons on Sunday.
Wallace made his second straight start with Shaq Thompson (Achilles, IR) done for the season. After recording 15 tackles (10 solo) in Week 5 against the Bears, Wallace continued his tackling ways versus Atlanta. He added the fumble recovery in the second quarter after Ray-Ray McCloud coughed up the football. Wallace should continue to rack up the tackles going forward with the Panthers projected to be trailing on the scoreboard most weeks, allowing opponents to run the ball more, leading to higher tackle rates for Carolina's linebackers.
