Signed to compete for a reserve role behind Chuba Hubbard, Jonathon Brooks, and Trevor Etienne, leaving him fourth in line for touches. Carolina added no 2026 draft capital at RB, but the incumbent room alone caps his path to meaningful volume.
A neck injury wiped out his entire 2024 season. He has played since and no 2026 health issues have been reported, but a recurrence at his age would likely be career-ending.
Jonathon Brooks carries an extensive knee history and was still listed with a knee designation in offseason reports; attrition ahead of Dillon is the one path to a committee role. Position movers historically see floor improvement, so a defined role is plausible if the room thins.
