Thursday Night Practice...

Anyone there? Just wanted to get some updates, here's the latest from Gantt via twitter...

Hamstrings for Charles Johnson and Jamar Williams, day-to-day.

Rookie WR Brandon LaFell's got a little juice about him. Just caught a nice crossing route and took off.

Working on kickoff returns tonight: Goodson, Witherspoon, Sutton, Guy, Edwards, Jackson. Lot of time to narrow it down

Also, easy to see rookies Eric Norwood and Jordan Pugh will be good special teamers. Getting a lot of work.

The Panthers plan to have converted WLB Jon Beason making the calls in the huddle and MLB Dan Connor making the pre-snap checks. Connor said it's unusual but thinks it will work.

With Steve Smith out, WR Kenny Moore is making the most of his opportunity to run with the starters. He's catching everything in sight.

There yea go.

If only LaFell can hold onto that football, the sky is the limit. But that's a pretty big "if." Hands seem like something you have or don't, could be nerves.

I just want a big receiver to snag an overthrown pass, run over the corner, and use those strides to run untouched into the endzone.

QB Jimmy Clausen isn't worried about starting camp with the third team. He said he was fourth on the depth chart when he reported to Notre Dame..

I like his enthusiasm.

I played receiver in high school. Cathing at full sprint in pads with people coming at you is a lot different then cathing in your backyard.

Probably a mix of nerves and the increased game speed of the NFL. Hopefully he can calm down and focus on the ball going straight into his arms/hands.

Was Moose known for his catching? I seem to remember him having hands like a snake.
