    Breaking News: Report - Ravens Trade For WR Diontae Johnson

Top Panthers News

  • Panthers' Chandler Zavala: Gets back on field

    Zavala (knee) played 22 offensive snaps during Carolina's 19-10 preseason loss to the Steelers on Thursday, Kassidy Hill and Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site report.

    Zavala missed much of training camp due to a knee injury, but he's managed to meet the goal that coach Dave Canales had previously set of returning in time for Carolina's preseason finale. The 2023 fourth-round pick is set to handle a backup role at guard this season, and he could be tasked with stepping up immediately if Damien Lewis (guard) is less than 100 percent for Week 1.

  • Panthers' Claudin Cherelus: Takes field Thursday

    Cherelus suited up for Carolina's 19-10 preseason loss to the Steelers on Thursday, Kassidy Hill and Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site report.

    Cherelus played 17 defensive snaps during Thursday's preseason finale, so it looks like he's fully recovered from the groin injury that forced him to sit out Carolina's prior exhibition matchup against Houston. He's expected to contribute on special teams while handling a depth role on defense this season.

  • Panthers' Taylor Moton: Sticking with Panthers

    Moton agreed to terms Friday on two-year, $44 million contract extension with Carolina, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Moton has been a pillar of consistency since the Panthers selected him in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft, being a useful contributor in both pass protection and as a run blocker, though he's not yet earned a Pro Bowl nod in his career. The 31-year-old starting right tackle is now under contract through 2027.

  • Panthers' Adam Thielen: Vikings interested in reunion

    The Panthers have engaged with Minnesota on trade conversations surrounding Thielen, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

    Thielen is currently heading into the final year of his restructured contract with Carolina and weighed the possibility of retirement this offseason, so the 35-year-old could be attracted by the idea of returning to Minnesota, where his NFL career began. The Vikings expect Justin Jefferson (hamstring) to be ready for Week 1, but Jordan Addison (suspension) won't be eligible to play in the first three games of the regular season, Jalen Nailor (hand) and Tai Felton (arm) are currently dealing with injury, and Rondale Moore (knee) is on IR and out for the year. Thielen would still project as a starter if he were to remain with the Panthers, but Carolina has an abundance of depth at wide receiver and could be motivated to allot as many reps as possible to the development of younger players like Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker behind new No. 1 option Tetairoa McMillan (hamstring).

  • Panthers' Trevor Etienne: Rips off 28-yard run

    Etienne took three carries for 26 yards and saw three incomplete targets in Thursday's 19-10 preseason loss to Pittsburgh.

    With Chuba Hubbard and Rico Dowdle rested, Etienne got the start and broke free for a 28-yard gain on his first run. He got stuffed on his other two carries, however, and didn't have any luck on his targets. Etienne likely will enter Week 1 as Carolina's No. 3 running back, but the fourth-round pick could reasonably challenge Dowdle for the second spot on the depth chart this year.

  • Panthers' Jimmy Horn: Catches lone target

    Horn caught his lone target for 13 yards in Thursday's 19-10 preseason loss to Pittsburgh.

    The rookie sixth-round pick finishes his inaugural preseason with six catches for 29 yards on seven targets. Horn didn't make any noise toward a meaningful Week 1 role, but he at least seems on track for one of the final roster spots, with a chance to return kicks and/or punts.

  • Panthers' Jalen Coker: Not targeted

    Coker (illness) wasn't targeted in Thursday's preseason loss to Pittsburgh.

    Panthers coach Dave Canales implied that Coker might've been rested Thursday if he hadn't missed the previous preseason game with an illness. The second-year pro played the first couple of drives with Carolina's second-string offense, which is the unit he saw the most work with this summer. There was talk of Coker pushing Xavier Legette for playing time, however, and now Adam Thielen trade rumors offer another potential path to a significant role. For the time being, Coker projects as Carolina's No. 4 wide receiver for a Week 1 matchup with Jacksonville.

  • Panthers' Hunter Renfrow: Quiet in preseason finale

    Renfrow caught two of three targets for five yards in Thursday's preseason loss to Pittsburgh.

    The Panthers rested most of their starters and some key backups, allowing Renfrow, Jalen Coker and David Moore to take most of the WR snaps early on. Renfrow didn't show much Thursday night, but recent trade rumors regarding Adam Thielen perhaps offer Renfrow a path to some kind of role with Carolina early in the season. There's also a chance the 29-year-old slot specialist has to settle for a spot on the practice squad or is let go entirely before Week 1.

  • Panthers' Princely Umanmielen: X-rays clean

    Umanmielen (shoulder) underwent X-rays, which came back clean, after Thursday's 19-10 preseason loss to the Steelers, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Umanmielen left Thursday's contest in the first half after suffering a shoulder injury, but he appears to have avoided a serious injury. The edge rusher said that his X-rays didn't reveal anything, and he thinks he'll be fine. Umanmielen will now shift his focus to ensuring he's ready for Week 1 versus the Jaguars on Sept. 7.

  • Panthers' Raheem Blackshear: Suffers ankle injury

    Blackshear (ankle) is questionable to return to Thursday's preseason contest against the Steelers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Blackshear sustained an ankle injury in the third quarter, which could bring his night to an early end. The running back logged 11 carries for 35 yards, while also catching both of his targets for eight yards prior to his departure.

  • Panthers' Princely Umanmielen: Ruled out for rest of Thursday

    Umanmielen (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's preseason contest against the Steelers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Umanmielen suffered a shoulder injury in the first half, and it will now officially bring his night to a premature end. He will now shift his focus to being ready for the team's regular-season opener against the Jaguars on Sept. 7.

  • Panthers' Ja'Tyre Carter: Questionable to return Thursday

    Carter (ankle) is questionable to return to Thursday's preseason contest against the Steelers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Carter suffered an ankle injury in the first half in Pittsburgh, placing some doubt on his ability to return to action. If the offensive guard is unable to return Thursday, he'll shift his focus to being ready to go for the regular-season opener Sept. 7 in Jacksonville.

  • Panthers' Princely Umanmielen: Banged up versus Pittsburgh

    Umanmielen (shoulder) is questionable to return to Thursday's preseason contest versus Pittsburgh, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Umanmielen sustained a shoulder injury in the first half against the Steelers, and it's currently unknown if he'll be able to return to action. The 23-year-old secured a solo tackle before his departure, and Umanmielen's status will be morth monitoring moving forward.
