The Carolina Panthers are being considered as a possible landing spot for Najee Harris, a former first-round pick and Pro Bowl running back. CBS Sports' Bryan DeArdo named the Panthers as a potential fit after the team lost Rico Dowdle in free agency. Harris, who has had a challenging recent tenure due to a torn Achilles, played for the Pittsburgh Steelers before a short stint with the Los Angeles Chargers. Carolina's running back situation is complicated as Jonathon Brooks is recovering from ACL injuries, potentially complicating Harris's arrival. DeArdo indicates that Harris's comeback may not happen with the Panthers.

- •Harris recently recovered from an Achilles tear sustained in 2025.
- •Rico Dowdle's departure leaves a gap in the Panthers' running back room.
