CHARLOTTE – The Panthers have promoted cornerback Lou Youngicon-article-link.gif from the practice squad and released tight end Scott Simonsonicon-article-link.gif. Young, who has never played in a regular season game, was signed to the practice squad on Wednesday.

Head coach Ron Rivera indicated on Friday that the team would likely elevate Young to provide depth at corner. Carolina will be without starters James Bradberryicon-article-link.gif (foot) and Robert McClainicon-article-link.gif (hamstring) on Sunday against the Saints.

Simonson, the team’s third tight end behind Greg Olsenicon-article-link.gif and Ed Dicksonicon-article-link.gif, has played in all five games but did not record a catch.

The Panthers brought back wide receiver Damiere Byrd to fill the open spot on the practice squad. Byrd was waived earlier this week to make room for defensive end Wes Hortonicon-article-link.gif on the active roster.

We need bradberry to nut up.

You don't "nut up" with Turf Toe. It can be debilitating, especially if your job is to run fast and make cuts. The only way for it to heal is to limit activity as much as possible.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
