Carolina Panthers linebacker Trevin Wallace is likely going under the knife.
The rookie had his first NFL campaign officially cut short on Tuesday, when the Panthers placed their 2024 third-round pick on injured reserve with only three games left in the season. Wallace, who missed this past Sunday’s 30-14 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, has been sidelined with a shoulder injury.
After Wednesday’s practice, head coach Dave Canales was asked if shutting Wallace down was more of a precautionary measure or an indication of something a tad more serious.
“Yeah, I think it’s something that has to be addressed,” Canales replied. “There’s a couple of things going on. So we all thought it was the right thing to make sure we got ahead of that.”
Canales also told reporters that he believes Wallace will undergo surgery.
Wallace appeared in 13 games in 2024. He recorded 64 total tackles, a sack, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.
