Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 2h The #Panthers have 13 of their 15 draft picks over the past two years on their 53-man roster as of today with the Crumedy promotion. Jonathon Brooks is on PUP and Mike Barrett, last year’s seventh-round pick, was traded for starting CB Mike Jackson. There are 12 rookies on 53.

Alex Zietlow @alexzietlow05 · 12m #Panthers injury report: Ickey Ekwonu (appendix, DNP) Robert Hunt (foot, limited) Damien Lewis (shoulder, limited) Damarri Mathis (knee, DNP) A’Shawn Robinson (groin, limited)

Darin Gantt @daringantt · 51m Canales said Yosh Nijman and Brady Christensen have worked at LT in Ikem Ekwonu's absence. Said the goal is for Ekwonu to work Friday in individual to decide if he can play Sunday.

Steve Reed @SteveReedAP · 47m On Hunt, he tweaked his foot today in practice. He left practice for a bit, then returned for a few plays before the Panthers shut him down as a precautionary measure. Team should know more later today on his status. Alex Zietlow @alexzietlow05 · 47m #Panthers coach Dave Canales on who could replace Ickey Ekwonu — who did not participate in practice today — in Week 1 … as well as what needs to happen for Ekwonu to play Sunday. He has to have “a really good Friday.” Joe Person @josephperson · 49m Canales: The hope is LT Ikem Ekwonu can do a little more by Friday (mentioned hitting bags) to see if he could be available Sunday. G Robert Hunt tweaked his foot during practice. Returned to drills, but then coaches and med. staff decided to hold him out.

The Carolina Panthers might be down a few hog mollies for their regular-season opener. Wednesday's injury report, the first of the 2025 campaign for the team, included three starting offensive linemen—left tackle Ikem Ekwonu and guards Damien Lewis and Robert Hunt. Ekwonu, who underwent an appendectomy last Sunday, did not participate in practice this afternoon. Head coach Dave Canales was asked what the plan would be at the position if Ekwonu is out for their Week 1 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. "Yosh [Nijman] has been taking a lot of reps there," Canales replied. "Then also, Brady [Christensen] has been taking reps at left and right, as always. So we're just gonna kinda take it one day at a time." Here's the Panthers' full injury report from Wednesday: OT Ikem Ekwonu (Illness) | Wednesday: DNP G Damien Lewis (Shoulder/ankle) | Wednesday: Limited CB Damarri Mathis (Knee) | Wednesday: Limited G Robert Hunt (Foot) | Wednesday: Limited https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/09/03/panthers-week-1-injury-updates-ikem-ekwonu-robert-hunt/85958324007/?taid=68b89ea3a9960a0001fc10b5&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

Nick Underhill @nick_underhill Saints released S J.T. Gray, per source special teams demon, 3x all pro apparently 29 years old also was a captain at least one year Gray, who joined the Saints in 2018 as an undrafted rookie free agent, was a special teams standout and team captain. He has been a first-team All-Pro Selection twice and was named to the Pro Bowl in 2021 as a special teamer. he was going to make about 3.5 mill this year, we can get him for less than that I'm sure. Not sure how good he is at safety though

what happened here? I wanted us to draft him...was he a bust? Or is it a cap thing

going through all that happend in that era, it was so worth it for the magic of 2015. So much redemption, and it went away so fast. But the few here now hopefully will see that time again, and maybe it will last a little longer

Steve Reed @SteveReedAP · 37m TE Ja'Tavion Sanders has really improved as a pass catches, per Dave Canales. (It sorts of sounds like he will be the primary pass receiver at that position, but nothing etched in stone). Joe Person @josephperson · 40m Dave Canales says he remains "super hopeful" on left tackle Ikem Ekwonu's status for the opener at Jacksonville. Didn't practice today and likely won't on Monday (players have the long weekend off). Ekwonu is recovering from an emergency appendectomy. Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 40m Canales is “super hopeful” Ekwonu practices next week. But Brady Christensen and Yosh Nijman are splitting LT reps in the meantime.

Darin Gantt @daringantt · 42m Canales: Another physical day in pads. LG Damien Lewis was full go in individual. Didn't take team reps, but on schedule to start practicing fully next week.

Delhomme come to his hometown and play with the kids and attending Ricky Proehl's camps. Steve Reed @SteveReedAP Darin Gantt @daringantt · 42m Canales: Another physical day in pads.

started to make a new thread, but I'll put it here. Adam when asked about Bryce https://x.com/alec_lewis/status/1961118454922068204

we got Coke and Hooker....should be a fun season

yes it rolls over. We're going to go with what we have and develop our young guys this year because we're not ready to compete at a playoff level. And we have to sign Ickey and Bryce soon, if Bryce continues to develop. We need all the cash we can get. Next year we'll move ahead with helping the defense, and then it's time to spend draft capitol replacing some of the more expensive OL and DL talent we've paid in the last 2 years, and it's a lot.

i was real lols when Mike said "that was selfish." Looks like it wasn't CMC's fault though.

Jags cut Muma, LB Chad Muma was a third-round pick in 2022 who played as a rotational linebacker for three years with the Jags. He was largely a special-teams contributor, playing about 150 more snaps there than on defense during his career. With a new regime in Jacksonville, he gets cut ahead of the final year of his rookie contract. This 2022 Wyoming alum and 3rd rounder put up 94 tackles and 1.5 sacks in his 3 seasons in Jacksonville. Career seemed DOA as he was drafted the same year the Jags traded back into the 1st to grab Devin Lloyd.
