The Carolina Panthers are gearing up for the 2023 season with the return of standout defensive lineman Derrick Brown, who was back on the practice field during organized team activities (OTAs). After undergoing meniscus surgery last season that sidelined him for the entire year, Brown's presence is a significant boost for the Panthers as he aims to be ready by Week 1. His determination and early participation, even if not fully engaging in team drills, signal a positive trajectory for his recovery and the team's defensive line prospects.
