This is a big year for DJ Johnson. He hasn't provided the pass rush the Panthers had hoped for when they traded up for him in the draft a couple of years ago, netting just 0.5 sacks in 27 games.

The Panthers are still a 5-12 team that, for all they did in the offseason, still has a few glaring holes in training camp, and that's a hard time to fix things roster-wise.
