Camp opens in Carolina
The Panthers open camp with a lot of uncertainty at several positions.
Today, the Panthers begin getting a look at who will fill some of those shoes.
“We are young, but I think we’re energetic,” Panthers Head Coach John Fox said on Wednesday. “I like the ability of guys. I saw enough in our offseason stuff to see that. Now it’s just about molding this into a team. Every year your team has a new personality, whether it’s laced with veterans or not. It’s always an exciting time of year.”
There figures to be competition for starting spots along the defensive line, at wide receiver and at right guard.

Homegrown talent anchors Panthers offensive line
The Panthers open camp with another first this season — every member of the starting offensive line is a Carolina draft pick.
Carolina’s offensive line is one of the best in the league and could have as many as four players in Pro Bowl contention this season.
Left tackle Jordan Gross, fresh off a broken right ankle last November, is the most heralded of the bunch. Gross, who was Carolina’s first round pick in 2003, enters his eighth NFL season. He, John Kasay and Steve Smith are the only players on the current roster that played in Super Bowl XXXVIII.
Travelle Wharton is the team’s versatile left guard. Wharton is one of the better guards in the league, and is able to play four out of the five positions along the line. Entering his seventh season, look for Wharton to get some Pro Bowl buzz this upcoming year. Read the story »

Bobcats vs. Nets Pregame Preview
Tonight, the Charlotte Bobcats travel to New Jersey to take on the 0-18 Nets, who now have the stigma of having the worst start in NBA history.
The Bobcats, (7-10) are coming off a thorough thrashing by the Celtics in a game where head coach Larry Brown said was the team’s worst effort in his short tenure with the team. “It was like the varsity against the JV,” coach Larry Brown said after the game.
“It’s disappointing,” said center Tyson Chandler, “but we can turn it right back around and go and win four out of the next five. It’s a tough loss, but we’ve got to examine it and see everything we did wrong. We’ve got to start another winning streak.”
