With the Texans expected to play their starters today, this will be the first time the #Panthers starters play another team's starters in the preseason since 2023

Still insane we didn't last year given how bad we were the season before and we had a first time head coach. But at least Canales is learning.

Lewis and Zavala out. I'll be keeping a close eye on the OL depth.

I'm a bit perplexed about the Scourton situation. If they're being cautious that's fine but I saw some comments from Dave where he was displeased with the lack of conditioning from some of our guys in the joint practice. Not a huge deal but also not something to overlook either considering we're about to be heading down to Jacksonville for the season opener within 3 weeks. And needless to say it isn’t going to be any better.

They’ll be sucking wind before the 1st qtr ends

They need a better waterboy.

Booooooo

The team's site says you can do a free week trial of NFL+ to watch the game, but you go there and they don't seem to have a free trial.

That sucks, really wanted to watch the starters get their 3 series

If you have the urge to watch sports online and have quality virus protection on your device, just get your sportsurge on

Heat could be conditioning or well...."lack of proper hydration" if you get my drift.

Scourton should not be having heat related issues given that he played at A&M. Now, that is unless he has had a history of that. That's the one thing about that, the more it happens to you, typically the worse it gets.

Alternately you can take a bite out of the NFL

the official website has the game available to stream.  I can't watch on NFL+ because of "in market preseason".  Will be able to watch the regular season on it.

YTTV got up around $90 so I said screw it.  Rabbit ears and sailing the high seas for this cheapskate.

On that note, I forgot how good OTA HD looks.  No compression artifacts or anything.

Damn the NFL+ stream is texans announcers

Per the #Panthers, the following Carolina players aren't expected to play (official team wording) today:

- CB Jaycee Horn (hand)
- OLB Nic Scourton (heat-related symptoms)
- WR Jalen Coker (illness)
- TE Tyler Mabry
- LB Claudin Cherelus (groin)
- DT Cam Jackson
- G Chandler Zavala (knee)
- G Damien Lewis (shoulder)
- DE LaBryan Ray (ankle)

Cam Jackson might not make the 53

[Mr. Scot]

Might not be on much today because we've got work to do but I'll try to leave some observations. This, as I understand it, will be the "dress rehearsal" game but unlike in the past, the starters may not play a whole lot.

Let’s go boys.  Look sharp, no injuries.
