Recently, EA Sports revealed the player ratings of every player in the game. Here's the overall rating for every Panthers, broken down by position. Quarterbacks Bryce Young - 75 Andy Dalton - 70 Running Backs Chuba Hubbard - 85 Rico Dowdle - 80 Jonathon Brooks - 77 Trevor Etienne - 72 Raheem Blackshear - 67 Emani Bailey - 63 Wide Receivers Adam Thielen - 80 Tetairoa McMillan - 77 Xavier Legette - 74 Hunter Renfrow - 73 Jalen Coker - 73 David Moore - 71 Jimmy Horn Jr. - 67 Jacolby George - 66 Kobe Hudson - 65 Tight Ends Ja’Tavion Sanders - 71 Tommy Tremble - 70 Mitchell Evans - 67 James Mitchell - 65 Dominique Dafney - 61 Tyler Mabry - 60 Left Tackles Ikem Ekwonu - 80 Brady Christensen - 74 Yosh Nijman - 69 Brandon Walton - 62 Left Guards Damien Lewis - 83 Jarrett Kingston - 67 Ja’Tyre Carter - 66 Centers Austin Corbett - 75 Cade Mays - 71 Right Guards Robert Hunt - 82 Chandler Zavala - 64 Luke Kandra - 63 Right Tackles Taylor Moton - 86 Defensive Tackles Derrick Brown - 95 Tershawn Wharton - 76 A’Shawn Robinson - 75 Bobby Brown III - 74 Shy Tuttle - 71 Boogie Basham Jr. - 70 Cam Jackson - 70 Jaden Crumedy - 70 LaBryan Ray - 67 Sam Roberts - 66 Left Defensive Ends Nic Scourton - 74 Patrick Jones II - 72 DJ Johnson - 71 Right Defensive Ends DJ Wonnum - 76 Princely Umanmielen - 72 Thomas Incoom - 66 Outside Linebackers Christian Rozeboom - 73 Jon Rhattigan - 64 Inside Linebackers Trevin Wallace - 70 Jacoby Windmon - 64 Claudin Cherelus - 63 Cornerbacks Jaycee Horn - 86 Mike Jackson - 75 Akayleb Evans - 71 Chau Smith-Wade - 70 Shemar Bartholomew - 67 Corey Thornton - 63 Mello Dotson - 62 Mike Reid - 62 Tre Swilling - 61 Free Safeties Tre’von Moehrig - 82 Lathan Ransom - 69 Strong Safeties Nick Scott - 71 Demani Richardson - 65 Specialists LS J.J. Jansen - 78 P Sam Martin - 75 K Matthew Wright - 71 K Ryan Fitzgerald - 70 Who is underrated? Offensive linemen Austin Corbett (75) and Robert Hunt (82) are a little low for the value they provide in real life. Yes, Corbett has been hit by the injury bug over the last couple of years, but when he's healthy, he's as solid as it gets. Defensive lineman Tershawn Wharton (76) should get a little more love as well, considering he was one of the top sack leaders on the Chiefs last season with 6.5. Who is overrated? While he's been Steady Eddie throughout his career, I'm a little surprised Taylor Moton (86) is rated as high as he is. He only allowed one sack last season, but I think he's hit the peak of his career, and should probably be around an 83 or 84. https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/news/every-panthers-madden-26-rating-is-out-and-there-are-some-eye-openers

well, there's this. and it's making me believe we have the right guys in the lockeroom. Wait till the end and see everyone run from the bench. https://x.com/i/status/1951808617218531737

man one guy we drafted I was pretty happy to get, but I haven't heard one word about him...TE Mitchell Evans. Is he hurt?

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers coach Dave Canales said Friday that starters will play in the first two preseason games, stopping just short of admitting he made a mistake last season holding them out. The plan includes playing quarterback Bryce Young, who got off to a historically bad start to the 2024 regular season that got him benched after opening 0-2. Carolina opens their preseason schedule Friday at home against Cleveland, followed by an August 15 road game at Houston and August 21 home game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Canales said he will evaluate after the first two games whether starters will play in the third game. "Kind of going through it last year, we had a mix of veteran players, but [this is] predominantly a pretty young team,'' said Canales, who has at least six new starters to the defense that was the worst in the league a year ago. "I just can't pass up the opportunities. The reps in games are valuable. "[But] it goes to the night before, when guys know they're going to go out there, they've got to make a decision to play football. So it starts the night before with the prep. You start thinking about your plan, taking care of your body, making sure you get your rest.'' https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45880676/panthers-starters-play-first-2-preseason-games-says-coach

Joe Person @josephperson · 1m Dave Canales says Panthers will be in full pads for FanFest. Steve Reed @SteveReedAP · 2m Dave Canales really wants fans to come out to FanFest on Saturday. It’s the only chance for fans to see the team in practice. It will be full pads.

Kassidy Hill @KassidyGHill · 8m Dave Canales starts off with an excited, "That was a great day." Practice was definitely popping today. Darin Gantt @daringantt · 7m Hunter Renfrow (hamstring) was held out today, along with Mike Jackson (toe) and Pat Jones (illness). All seem reasonably minor. Canales said Renfrow told him he'd have played this week. Steve Reed @SteveReedAP · 7m WR Hunter Renfrow tweaked a hamstring and CB Mike Jackson sprained his toe. Neither injury is considered serious. Dave Canales said if there was a game this week he could play. Pat Jones has a respiratory issue. Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 7m Hunter Renfrow tweaked his hammy but told Dave he could have played in a game. Mike Jackson (toe) and Pat Jones (illness) also held out of practice. Joe Person @josephperson · 7m Panthers injury updates: -Hunter Renfrow has slight hamstring issue. -Mike Jackson has a sprained toe. -Pat Jones has an upper-respiratory illness. Steve Reed @SteveReedAP · 6m Tetairoa McMillen had had some really bad plays and some really great plays in camp, per Dave Canales. Likes the way he bounced back from an early drop today in full padded practice. Alex Zietlow @alexzietlow05 · 3m Canales says that Jaycee Horn punted the ball after he made an INT today. That explains Chuba Hubbard’s punt after his rushing touchdown today. Canales on the competitiveness: We can’t have that because of penalties … then he smiles … “but I kind of like it.” Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 4m “Let a dominant play be dominant,” Canales on guys showboating to the point of drawing penalties. Then jokingly acknowledges that he “loves” the bravado. #Panthers Alex Zietlow @alexzietlow05 · 5m #Panthers coach Dave Canales calls the competition in practice “special” and says Bryce Young’s big day is a product of his receivers being where they are supposed to be. Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 5m “Corey Thornton is having a great camp.” - HC Dave Canales said when talking about the physicality at corner vs. McMillan. Canales said he earned a bunch of reps from how he performed in OTAs. #Panthers (I concur fwiw)

ke Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 26m Lot of contact against Jaycee Horn but McMillan with another diving catch off a well-placed ball by BY9. #Panthers Steve Reed @SteveReedAP · 29m Oh training camp… Ja’Tavion Sanders catches a TD pass on the goal line against Jaycee Horn. Horn complains of a push off (no call). Sanders spins the ball in front of the defense on the sideline. A member of the defense picks the ball up and throws it at Sanders. Alex Zietlow @alexzietlow05 · 23m Bryce Young’s best practice. Not even close. What a day for the third-year QB. Alex Zietlow @alexzietlow05 · 20m Oh by the way, the period is punctuated by Chuba Hubbard touchdown run, and then a Chuba Hubbard punt toward the defensive sideline. Carolina Blitz @KeepBlitzin · 23m Bryce scrambles. Nick Scott meets him at the goal line. He connects and has a few words for Young who without hesitation claps back. B9 not afraid of the smoke. Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 10m Practice is done. Easily the most competitive this summer.

oe Person @josephperson · 49m Jaycee Horn with a nice pick during team drills on a Bryce Young pass intended for Xavier Legette. Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 49m Bryce Young does an excellent job of stepping up in the pocket, fires at McMillan and it’s dropped with Thornton in coverage. I think that’s TMac’s first legit drop of practice. He’s been pretty much automatic otherwise (no one will read this last sentence, I’m sure). ex Zietlow @alexzietlow05 · 45m Looks like a one-handed catch from Tetairoa McMillan on the left sideline, delivered by Bryce Young. Play before: Rookie TJ Luther … what a contested catch delivered by Andy Dalton. Highlight plays galore! Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 48m Bryce Young throws a pick to Jaycee Horn and comes back with a dime to Adam Thielen toward the left sideline. Competitive series. Person @josephperson · 39m Ryan Fitzgerald had his worst statistical day. 2-5, but all three misses would’ve been good on regulation goalposts. Joe Person @josephperson · 46m One-handed catch by Tetairoa McMillan on a fade pass by Bryce Young. 11v11 Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 35m McMillan with an excellent diving catch on a low throw by BY. Dude is bouncing back after his first drop in a big way. Makes another catch to follow that one up. ike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 30m JT Sanders with a catch over Jaycee Horn for a TD in RZ 11 on 11. Arguably offensive PI. ike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 29m Chau Smith-Wade with another near pick in 11s on a throw from BY9 to Legette. #Panthers Joe Person @josephperson · 30m JT Sanders with a touchdown in red zone. Fade pass by Bryce. Jaycee Horn in coverage. Sanders spun the ball in front of the defensive sideline after the score. Alex Zietlow @alexzietlow05 · 29m This red zone drill is electric. Among the many highlights: JT Sanders isolated with Jaycee Horn. Bryce Young launches a perfectly placed back-shoulder fade. Touchdown. Sanders spins the ball in front of the DBs afterward. Mike Jackson throws the ball back at him. Feisty!

Joe Person @josephperson · 1h Chau Smith-Wade with nice PBU on Adam Thielen. Pass a bit underthrown by Bryce Young. Thielen didn’t have the cleanest release. Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 1h Chau Smith-Wade drops a pick after jumping a route by XL from No. 9 in 7s. Excellent read and react by the second-year DB. #Panthers Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 1h Bryce Young with a dime over CB Corey Thornton to a leaping Xavier Legette who made the catch between Thornton and Nick Scott. Someone from the sideline yelled out “that’s nasty.” #Panthers Joe Person @josephperson · 1h Chau Smith-Wade jumped the curl route in front of Xavier Leggette. Should’ve intercepted it. Dropped it. 7v7 Alex Zietlow @alexzietlow05 · 1h In 7s work. Chau Smith-Wade jumps a button-hook run by Xavier Legette and nearly picks off Bryce Young, but can’t hang on. Great anticipation on the ball nonetheless. Joe Person @josephperson · 51m Sam Martin punting for the first time at camp (at least while the media has been here). Horn, Blackshear, Moore and Etienne fielding. Horn just dropped 1. Joe Person @josephperson · 51m Horn comes back with a nice return on the last rep.
