AJ Dillon’s current status is shown in the live status box above, which updates automatically from the official NFL injury report. As of Fri, Oct 30, our tracked feed lists him as a coach’s-decision inactive for Carolina’s Week 8 game, not an injury designation. He worked through an ankle injury earlier in October, and a neck injury wiped out his 2024 season in Green Bay.
He signed a one-year deal with Carolina in March and played four offensive snaps in Week 2, per Panthers.com. Jonathon Brooks went on injured reserve after core-muscle surgery in late September (FOX Sports).
Fantasy Action: Dillon is a deep-league handcuff behind Chuba Hubbard at most; he becomes a speculative add only if Hubbard misses time.
