Panthers' Mitchell Evans: Back in action
Evans (ankle) participated in the Panthers' training camp activities Monday, Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Evans suffered a low-ankle sprain last Tuesday and was carted off the practice field. The tight end missed a few days of practice but appears to be back in uniform and pads. Evans will continue to compete with Ja'Tavion Sanders for the No. 2 tight end role behind Tommy Tremble.

Panthers' Bobby Brown: Ready for training camp
The Panthers activated Brown (undisclosed) from the active/non-football injury list Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Brown began training camp dealing with an undisclosed issue, enabling rookie Lee Hunter to get more reps with the first-team interior defensive line. Now that Brown has returned, he should reclaim his spot as the Panthers' top nose tackle.

Panthers' Tommy Tremble: Back at practice
Tremble (knee) returned to practice Monday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Tremble sat out of Friday's practice while dealing with knee soreness, but he's back on the field to start the week. The 26-year-old is coming off a career-best 2025 season where he recorded career highs in receptions (27), yards (249) and targets (37) over 17 regular-season games. Tremble is headed into a contract year after signing a two-year extension during the 2025 offseason and is expected to once again share primary pass-catching duties at tight end with Ja'Tavion Sanders.

Panthers' Kenny Pickett: Set to start HOF Game
Coach David Canales said that Pickett is slated to start Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against the Cardinals, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.
Per Reed, none of the Panthers' key starters are in line to see action in the contest, a group that presumably includes QB Bryce Young, WR Tetairoa McMillan and RB Chuba Hubbard. Once Pickett gets his share of reps Thursday, look for rookie UDFA Haynes King to get some work in versus Arizona's reserves.

Panthers' Chamon Metayer: Getting opportunity in Carolina
The Panthers signed Metayer to a contract Friday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Metayer will take the spot on the 90-man roster vacated by rookie third-round wide receiver Chris Brazzell (knee), who was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Metayer initially signed with the Steelers in late April as an undrafted free agent before being waived by Pittsburgh in early June. He'll audition for the Panthers for the next month, and while he's a longshot to make the 53-man roster, Metayer could get an invite to the practice squad if he impresses the coaching staff enough in training camp and preseason games.

Panthers' Chris Brazzell: Rookie year officially over
The Panthers placed Brazzell (knee) on injured reserve Friday.
Brazzell will officially miss his entire rookie season due to the LCL tear he suffered during Wednesday's training camp practice. The rookie third-round pick will undergo surgery and set his full attention on making a recovery for the 2027 campaign. In the wake of this transaction, Xavier Legette and John Metchie are the top candidates to secure the No. 3 wide receiver role in Carolina behind Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker.

Panthers' Gabriel Benyard: Signs with Carolina
The Panthers signed Benyard to a contract Thursday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Benyard signed with the Bills as an undrafted free agent before being waived in early June. The wide receiver will now get another opportunity to make an NFL roster with the Panthers. The 5-foot-10, 185-pounder spent his final college season at Kennesaw State, recording 60 catches for 948 yards and nine touchdowns over 14 regular-season and postseason games.

Panthers' Xavier Legette: Favorite for WR3 job?
Legette is expected to compete with John Metchie and David Moore for the No. 3 receiver job after teammate Chris Brazzell suffered a season-ending LCL tear, Joseph Person of The Athletic reports.
A 2024 first-round pick, Legette will need to prove himself even if the competition looks weak. He struggled through his first two NFL seasons and fell decisively behind Jalen Coker on the depth chart last year. Ona positive note, Legette told reporters in June that he was down to 221 pounds after playing at around 230 last year.

Panthers' Chris Brazzell: Done for season
Brazzell (knee) will soon have season-ending surgery on the LCL tear he suffered Wednesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Initial reports suggested Brazzell would miss around two months, but that was assuming he could recover without surgery. After getting a second opinion, Brazzell will undergo surgery and presumably spend the entirety of his rookie season on injured reserve. With the 2026 third-round pick out of the equation, Xavier Legette and John Metchie are the strongest candidates for the No. 3 WR role behind locked-in starters Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker. The timing of Brazzell's injury (July 29) should allow him to come back at full health for Carolina's offseason program in 2027.

Panthers' Corey Thornton: Participating in training camp
Thornton (fibula) participated in Carolina's training camp Wednesday, Zach Roberts of Sports Illustrated reports.
Thornton has fully recovered from a broken fibula that landed him on the team's injured reserve last November. The 2025 undrafted free agent will now spend the remainder of the offseason competing for a roster spot as a depth cornerback.

Panthers' Chandler Zavala: Working with team during camp
Zavala (calf) is participating at the Panthers' training camp, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Zavala was put on the shelf last season after suffering a calf injury in Week 12, but he's now apparently healthy again as training camp kicks off. He figures to fill a depth role on the interior of the offensive line in 2026.

Panthers' Casey Washington: Signs with Carolina
The Panthers signed Washington to a contract Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
With fellow wide receiver Dan Chisena (undisclosed) being placed on injured reserve, Washington will get his chance to contend for a depth role with the 2026 Panthers. The 25-year-old was waived by the Falcons in mid-June, having produced seven receptions for 108 yards over 15 career regular-season games.

Panthers' Dan Chisena: Moved to IR
The Panthers placed Chisena (undisclosed) on injured reserve Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Chisena was unable to participate in Sunday's practice due to an injury. The depth receiver clearly is not in good enough shape to warrant maintaining a roster spot through camp, and his 2026 season is likely over. In a corresponding move, the team signed wide receiver Casey Washington.

Panthers' Mitchell Evans: Diagnosed with low-ankle sprain
Evans has been diagnosed with a low ankle sprain and is considered day-to-day, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports.
The Panthers got another injury scare when Evans had to be carted off the field Tuesday, but Evans avoided a serious injury. The 23-year-old was a fifth-round pick last year and secured 19 of 25 targets for 171 yards and two touchdowns across 17 regular-season games as a rookie.

Panthers' Xavier Legette: In driver's seat for No. 3 role
Legette has better odds of winning Carolina's No. 3 receiver job after rookie Chris Brazzell suffered an LCL tear, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Brazzell, a third-round pick, is expected to miss the rest of the summer and at least the first few weeks of the regular season. Legette is left to compete with David Moore, John Metchie, Jimmy Horn and others for spots Nos. 3 to 6 on the depth chart. Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker are locked in as the top duo, looking like runaway favorites to rank first and second on the team in targets, though early camp hype suggests RB Jonathon Brooks might emerge as a third useful pass catcher.

Panthers' Chris Brazzell: Could miss up to eight weeks
Brazzell (knee) suffered an LCL tear in his left knee at practice Wednesday that could sideline him up to eight weeks, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Brazzell went down while participating in 7-on-7 drills Wednesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports, during his first practice since knee soreness caused him to log a two-day absence. Per Person, his LCL injury is unrelated to that earlier soreness. While Brazzell will likely be able to retake the field during his rookie season, an injury forcing him to miss presumably the rest of training camp, and potentially also regular-season time, is a notable blow. The rookie third-round pick had been putting together impressive momentum and had seemingly been positioning himself to challenge Xavier Legette for the No. 3 wide receiver role in Carolina.
