Wonnum made a triumphant return to the field during the Carolina Panthers' 20-17 overtime victory against the New York Giants in Munich, marking his debut after a year-long recovery from quadriceps surgery and complications including a blood clot. The edge rusher, who signed a two-year, $12.5 million contract with the Panthers, showcased his skills with key defensive plays, including a sack on QB Daniel Jones, emphasizing his desire to set a high standard for himself.
