Hello CSR! While I know most of the conversation both in this community and across the internet has spanned around Bryce Young and the offense’s dreadful performance from last week, the league doesn’t stop. Neither does the NFC South as the Falcons desperately need to win this game in order to position themselves as potentially competitive for both the division crown and a potential wild card spot. The last time these two teams faced off, the Panthers frustrated QB Michael Penix Jr, and the defense pitched a shut out, which preceded the Panthers winning 5 of 8 total games since....

The Carolina Panthers released their first injury report of the week, as is custom on Wednesdays. In a refreshing turn of events, it’s a relatively short list.

• Lathan Ransom – DNP (hand)
• Trevin Wallace – DNP (shoulder)
• Rico Dowdle – DNP (quadriceps)
• Derrick Brown – LP (knee)
• Chandler Zavala – FP (elbow)
• Brycen Tremayne – FP (hip)

So while the loss to the Saints was tremendously damaging to the ego and vibes of the Panthers, it didn’t hurt them too badly physically.

Trevin Wallace left the game with a shoulder injury and didn’t return....

Even though the 2025 NFL season just started, it’s never too early to look ahead toward the 2026 NFL Draft. This weekly series will take a closer look at some of the prospects the Carolina Panthers could select in the 2026 iteration of the Draft. In this series, we’ll only be looking at prospects the Panthers could seriously consider. This week our profile will focus on Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Ty Simpson.

Hot oil and water. Toothpaste and orange juice. The Carolina Panthers and winning a football game as the betting favorite. In other words, a list of things that do not mix well together.

It has been over 4 years since the Panthers have gone into a football game as the betting favorite and left the matchup with a notch in the win column. With yet another meltdown, this time occurring against a battered New Orleans Saints team, the tally is now at 11 straight opportunities that have all ended in bitter disappointment.

In those rare moments where the Panthers show...

Hello CSR! Welcome to Ask Brian, part two of your weekly Panthers fan mailbag for everyone! Following a huge upset victory over the Green Bay Packers last week, the Panthers quickly fell back down to Earth with a disappointing home loss to the 1 win New Orleans Saints on Sunday. I know I am not alone with many Panthers fans in that while this game stung, this was in no way a huge surprise to me. As Jon Delong pointed out last week, the Panthers were on a positive streak, which seemed to be covering up a major problem; [Bryce...

A week ago, the Carolina Panthers beat the then 5-1-1 Green Bay Packers to improve to 5-4 and let the world know that they could beat any team in the NFL. Talks all week were of playoff scenarios, being ahead of schedule, and the prudence of head coach Dave Canales’ strategy to commot to the run. Yesterday, those same Panthers lost 17-7 to the now 2-8 New Orleans Saints to remind their fans that they are also still capable of losing to absolutely any team in the NFL.

We talked here last week about how the team’s recent success was...

An embarrassingly incompetent offensive performance doomed the Carolina Panthers in a loss to the New Orleans Saints.

First Quarter

The Panthers got the ball first and moved the ball down the field pretty easily, especially through the air. It looked like the drive was going to short circuit in Saints territory when Bryce Young inexplicably threw the ball into triple coverage in the middle of the field. He was bailed out by a roughing penalty since he got slapped in the head. A couple plays later, Rico Dowdle punched in the first points of the game.

The defense nearly...

Much has been made about the Carolina Panthers having a winning record again this season. For the first time in living memory they are above .500 and facing a weak opponent. Of course, that means more than a few of us are expecting the team to fall flat on their faces today when they host the New Orleans Saints at Bank of America Stadium. It’s not that we think the Panthers should lose, it’s that we’re a few years away from expecting good things to happen.

That said, most fans are fairly optimistic today about the state and direction of...

The 5-4 Carolina Panthers have presented their fans with a novel conundrum: how to handle limited success. We’re experienced of late in divining the faintest of moral victories, in predicting future success, and expecting the sky to fall even when it is already on the ground. A positive record built on a repeatable offensive identity, a surprisingly improved defense, and a head coach who feels like he is being honest with the public? That’s new. So new, in fact, that Panthers fans who were born after the last time the Panthers showed a semblance of that are now in the...

The Carolina Panthers front office is busy throughout the season with transactions, roster moves, and injury updates. Here’s what’s happening at Mint Street this week.

Injury Report

The Panthers injury report is pretty clean this week. The most notable player listed as “out” is guard Chandler Zavala with an elbow injury. His absence will continue the carousel of new faces along the Panthers offensive line.

Two wide receivers are showing as questionable in rookie sensation Tetairoa McMillan and second-year free agent Brycen Tremayne. McMillan popped up unexpectedly on the injury report on Friday as a limited participant in practice,...
