@JourdanRodrigue: G Amini Silatolu is further along in knee rehab than T Daryl Williams, Rivera said. Team has to decide in the coming week whether to start Williams on IR with the option to return in 8 weeks.

@JourdanRodrigue: LB Andre Smith will play as early as the third defensive series on Thursday. Rivera talked very highly of him in training camp but Smith pulled his hamstring as the preseason began and the team has not gotten a good look at him. Thursday a big one for him.

@JourdanRodrigue: Rivera is indicating that LT/RT Moton will play a short amount of time on Thursday (he’s a starter but still finding rhythm in the position), but team wants to be extremely cautious with his reps and will pull him as soon as they see fit.

@DNewtonespn: Taylor Heinicke will start at quarterback for the Panthers in the preseason finale at Pittsburgh. This seems to be a clear indication he is the No. 2 quarterback behind Cam Newton heading into the season. The question is will Carolina keep Garrett...

@josephperson: RR: Greg Olsen rest day.

Da’Norris Searcy out of the protocol.

If you play Moton, you put him in for one play, run opposite side of the field and then you take him out, wrap him in bubble wrap, and bless the knees. 

We can't have him hurt too. 

Amen. Wish he were sitting.

Not surprising to hear that Amini is further along as Williams had the much more complicated injury. It's not encouraging though to hear that we're still in the decision making process as to whether Williams will be designated to return. That doesn't sound good.

I just hope Ron is over his delusion that Amini is a starter. Amini is a worst case scenario type player. He shouldn't be on an NFL roster. If he's on the field you better have a long list of guys on IR to justify it. Every time Amini is on the field, he's the lowlight of an opposing player's highlight.

And thus, his nickname was born.  Lowlight.

Rivera talking about Silatolu progressing in his rehab makes me nervous

Anyone have contact with Panthers team docs? Can we start a go fund me to encourage them to urge the team to give Amini and Matt LOTS of rehab time?!?  /kidding

With Williams, I believe the decision they are making is whether to keep him on the roster, expecting him back sooner, or designate him to sit out for 8 weeks. IMO, that's at least a little good news that he is making progress.

I hope you're right. Maybe so.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By frankw · Posted

      The OL has certainly been better than the trainwreck it was three or four years ago. As far as competitiveness let's apply some realism and clarity here. Quite a bit of the competitiveness in 2025 came from the defensive side of the ball which gave up the most points in league history the year before and was one of the bottom 5 units in terms of salary cap allocation for 2025 while the OL was top 3. We had the 26th passing offense last year. And if not for a herculean couple of games from Rico Dowdle we don't back our way into the division title or make the playoffs because we went 4-6 in our final ten games including being swept by the Saints who were starting a rookie 2nd round pick most of us mercilessly mocked when they selected him. In conclusion yes we've seen a difference. The question now is will the investment pay off the way we want. But the only way that happens is if we field a top 15 offense. If we can't even crack the top 20 then there need to be some very warm seats across the board. And I would hope just about anyone here should agree with that.

      These Spurs are lowkey loaded.  If healthy, they could win it all this year (#2 in the West right now). I still think we’ve gotta keep Kalk on Wemby; he’s not getting completely dominated like every other NBA center.

      Am I the only one who doesn't understand this fan bases infatuation with adding a high end TE? Especially when we have some bigger bodies in T-Mac and Coker who can slide into the slot at times and provide the big dependable target over the middle that most teams use their TE for. I mean, sure, it would be nice to have one of those elite TE's, but I feel like that's a position your better off going cheap with a committee who each bring something different to the table while spending our cap room on the more important positions. I like the potential we saw from Evans this year, Sanders could be a best if he can stay healthy, and Tremble has improved as well.  Just feels like spending high draft picks or cap space on other needs and more important positions is a better use of our resources than splashing on a TE in the draft or FA. Are those guys on the level of the Bowers or McBride's of the world?  Of course not, but we also are paying a fraction of the cost on our TE room than they are, and we're able to use that money for other needs.
