CHARLOTTE — The Panthers have assigned jersey numbers to most of their offseason veteran additions.

Numbers are always subject to change, as players are switching more frequently than in the past.

Outside linebacker Jaelan Phillips, one of their first acquisitions in free agency, locked into his No. 5 early.

Jaelan Phillips is seen during Carolina Panthers Voluntary Workouts Phase 2 on Monday, May. 4, 2026 at the Atrium Health Training Facility in Charlotte, NC.

Since then, linebacker Devin Lloyd has settled into 55.

There was some shuffling among existing players, especially on the defensive line.

Tershawn Wharton's now in 98, Cam Jackson took Wharton's old 99, and Jared Harrison-Hunte is now in 94.
