Wegher making something out of nothing.

In the 4th quarter we got to witness Brandon Wegher do what he has done his entire time as a Carolina Panthers, namely make something out of nothing. It looks like the play was designed for Wegher to follow Sandland up the gut, but was shut down right away by Titans 41. Sandland ran right by him, Wegher would have been tackled for a loss.

As soon as Wegher touches the ball, no less than 4 defenders are in his face.

The result? Wegher cuts it to the outside for a first down and then some. 

I still cannot fathom why we still have not seen him with the Panthers starting offensive line in preseason.

Limiting his opportunities to shine so as to safely stash him on the PS as depth in case of injuries?

Is it safe to say they're going to stash him on the PS again? I believe he would have gotten earlier playing time if the plan was for him to make the team. 

He was on the regular roster last year, not the PS. 

Seems like if this is the case, the Panthers are doing themselves a disservice.

But the question is whether he's safe on the PS. They thought enough of him to put him on the roster as a rookie. Unless they feel like they can rob a RB spot for some other position, I see the same RB's making it this year.

I do think he deserves to get some time with the 1st team O. It's not like they don't know what they've got with Stewart, Tolbert, and Fozzy. Even CAP seems like a vet compared to poor Wegher.

Wegher hasn't gotten work with the 1st or 2nd team because  Fozzy Whittaker is in his way not sure why he can't block or run only pass catch & CAP was drafted in but isn't doing much either 

Cap looks like he has more burst through the hole (or what is supposed to be a hole). He gets "skinny" really really well.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      https://nfltraderumors.co/2026-nfl-draft-grades-for-all-32-teams/      Grade: B+ Best Pick: Sam Hecht Biggest Reach (consensus rank): Jackson Kuwatch (NR) It's easy to love what Carolina did. The Panthers traded four times but ended the draft with the same number of selections that they started with and in approximately the same ranges. They did not take a player ahead of the consensus until Kuwatch at No. 227, and it's easy to see how he fell through the cracks playing at Miami of Ohio. He's a high-end athlete, though, and has a chance to develop, which is a fine profile for a seventh-rounder. Freeling and Brazzell also checked the high-end athleticism upside boxes for the Panthers. Carolina let the board come to them in the first round and could have a long-term solution at left tackle, which is a hard position to fill. Brazzell slid because of some maturity concerns as well as the difficulty in projecting receivers from Tennessee's Mickey Mouse offense. At 6-4, 200 pounds and 4.37 in the 40, though, the upside is undeniable. On top of that, the landed three starters on Day 3. Normally that's a high and unrealistic bar, but Hecht and Wheatley were both firmly inside the top 100 on the consensus board and have paths to win starting competitions. Lee fits the scheme well and has some interesting traits as an outside corner. What stopped me from a full-out A grade is not loving the Hunter pick, though he does fill a need to replace DT A'Shawn Robinson. There were prospects at other needs positions I would have been more jazzed about. The Brazzell pick is also an interesting risk for a team that's still in building mode, even coming off an NFC South title. Still, I'm nitpicking

      I was just a teenager when I joined in 2013. I've loved the many opinions on this forum, even though several are infuriating. I've had several bad takes, myself,  that I've hopefully grown out of over the years.
