Released by Carolina The Panthers are releasing Short (shoulder) on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact The 32-year-old defensive tackle had one season remaining on a five-year, $80.5 million contract, after playing just five games total between 2019 and 2020. He averaged 8.2 sacks and 17.3 QB hits per year from 2015 to 2017, but his stats declined in 2018 (3.5 sacks) and he then suffered season-ending shoulder injuries in back-to-back years. Short had surgery in 2019 on a partially torn rotator cuff in his left shoulder, and he's now rehabbing from October surgery to repair an unspecified issue in his right shoulder.

Heading to injured reserve Head coach Matt Rhule said that Short (shoulder) will be placed on injured reserve Thursday, Myles Simmons of the Panthers' official site reports.
Impact This transaction became inevitable once Rhule clarified Wednesday that Short would require season-ending surgery. Short earned two Pro Bowl nods over his first six years in the NFL, but given his latest setback, he will end up playing just five games between 2019 and 2020 combined. The 31-year-old missed 14 games last season due to a torn rotator cuff, and his 2020 campaign has been limited to just three appearances because of yet another shoulder injury.

Needs season-ending surgery Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said Wednesday that Short (shoulder) will require season-ending surgery, Stacey Dales of NFL Network reports.
Impact Rhule added that Short would be placed on injured reserve, though the Panthers may wait a few days to make the transaction official. Short finishes his season with six tackles in three games, marking another abbreviated campaign for the defensive tackle after he played just two games in 2019 before undergoing another shoulder surgery in 2019. According to Dales, Short's latest health setback is to the shoulder opposite from the one that required surgery last season.

Kept out of practice by shoulder Short (shoulder) isn't practicing Wednesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Impact Short has already missed two weeks with a foot issue this season, and now his status for Sunday's game against the Bears appears to be in jeopardy due to a shoulder injury that he picked up in last week's win over Atlanta. If Short can't go, Zach Kerr should return to a starting role on the interior of Carolina's defensive line.

Exits game against Falcons Short (shoulder) exited Sunday's 23-16 win against the Falcons and was deemed out for the remainder of the contest, Myles Simmons of the Panthers' official site reports.
Impact An injury-plagued campaign continues for the two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle, as Short was also forced to sit out Weeks 2 and 3 due to a foot issue. Unfortunately, the injury woes extend back into 2019 as well, as Short missed 14 games last year because of a shoulder injury. The eight-year NFL veteran had five tackles in his two appearances heading into Sunday, but he remains without a sack on the season so far.
