Placed on injured reserve
Weatherly (knee) was placed on injured reserve by the Browns on Saturday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran defensive end signed a one-year deal with the Browns in April, but he now will spend the year on IR, barring the team cutting him with an injury settlement. Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram noted that Weatherly will be undergoing surgery on his knee, with no timetable for his recovery mentioned by coach Kevin Stefanski.

If the Browns want to contend in the AFC North, signing these players in free agency could help them return to the NFL playoffs.
The Vikings boast one of the more balanced offenses in the league, and if the defense is as leaky as last season, Dalvin Cook, Justin Jefferson and company could have plenty of chances to continue to cook.
Using a ground-based scheme, the Vikings offense will be able to grind out games. But after significant changes on defense, Kirk Cousins may have to air it out more often than expected.
Polarizing Notre Dame wideout Will Fuller will likely go in the first round, but whether he'll land in a favorable situation is less clear.
Derrick Henry has plenty of critics, but he's projected to sneak into the first round in this four-round mock draft.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2020
2019
Following minimal production over his first two NFL seasons, Weatherly totaled 58 tackles - including 11 for loss - and six sacks over his previous two campaigns. That improvement allowed Weatherly to sign a two-year contract with the Panthers as he now enters his fifth year. Despite having high draft picks Brian Burns and Yetur Gross-Matos as fellow edge rushers, Carolina will hope Weatherly's veteran presence can combine well with the aforementioned duo's youthful exuberance to help improve a defense that struggled mightily last season.
