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.

Injuries

The 6-5 Carolina Panthers have a golden opportunity to prove they’re for real as they travel to San Francisco to take on the 7-4 49ers on Monday Night Football. At this point in the season health and injuries often play a major role in which team wins and which team loses, and there are some big injury concerns this week for the Panthers.

With a win over the Atlanta Falcons, back above .500, and fresh off a franchise-record setting performance by quarterback Bryce Young, the Carolina Panthers are nearing their season high in fan confidence once again. 84% of fans are confident in the direction of their favorite franchise in Week 12.

This is the fourth week that this survey has returned in the 80s and the ninth week over the 50% mark. For all that this number trends as a “did the Panthers win or lose” metric, we can say that most fans have mostly been optimistic about this team this season...

Greetings, Panthers fans. Welcome to the weekend.

Feel free to use this thread to chat about (almost) anything you want: video games, food, movies, non-football sports, you name it. As long as it’s allowed by the site’s ToS, it’s fair game here.

You know the drill.

This is now an open thread

The NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year race in 2025 runs through the NFC South. It’s one of the more unpredictable elements of an already wild season. What began preseason seeming like a lock for running back Ashton Jeanty has now settled in to being a two-horse race between a pair of wide receivers, both in the same division, fighting down the stretch to see who can claim the award. Offensive Rookie of the Year might not be the NFL’s most coveted reward, but it’s something only a player has once chance to ever take home.

Now we look at...

Just when the Carolina Panthers were down and out and it looked like Bryce Young’s career was on the ropes, Young and the Panthers went into Atlanta and put forth their best passing display of Young’s career and the entire franchise’s history. Young finished with a Panthers record 448 yards passing. Tetairoa McMillan accounted for 130 of those yards and scored two touchdowns. The pair swept the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week awards for their troubles.

That came on the back of an absolutely embarrassing showing against the New Orleans Saints the week prior. The Panthers were...

The Carolina Panthers swept the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award this past week. Young also won NFC Offensive Player of the Week.

Young set a Panthers franchise record with 448 passing yards in a win over the Falcons on Sunday. He had 396 yards in regulation, and then a single pass to Tommy Tremble went for 52 yards to set up the game winning field goal and push Bryce into historic territory for passing productivity. It was the best game of Young’s career to date with the only somewhat similar performance coming last season against those...

Hello CSR! We’re back onto the next game after the Panthers miraculous overtime win over the Falcons that once again put them into the NFC playoff conversation. Their defense struggled mightily against Bijan Robinson last week, allowing two big touchdowns that put them down by two scores going into halftime. Luckily, the Panthers managed to clamp down on defense in the second half, only allowing two field goals which both came in the 4th quarter when the Panthers were back in it. The defense came up with a 3 and out in overtime, the offense took it home for the...

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 Ohio State Buckeyes linebacker Arvell Reese.

Reese ended his high school career at Glenville High in Ohio by being the keystone in a defense that did not allow a point during its...

The Carolina Panthers have been up and they’ve been down. Bryce Young is setting franchise records and we still don’t trust him. Injuries and inconsistency has kept us from gaining a complete, predictive picture of who this team really is. All we know for certain is that, at 6-5, they have exceeded their win total from last season and they are above .500 in Week 12 ahead of their Monday Night Football clash with the San Francisco 49ers.

I don’t think there is another meaninful question to poll this week aside from our standard confidence question. Remember this is a...

After a putrid performance versus the New Orleans Saints I described Bryce Young as a ’conservative yet still turnover prone passer whose skillset heavily limits the ceiling and creativity of an offense’. Public perception and confidence of the quarterback had hit a season long low, and the team was heading for a game against the NFL’s top ranked passing defense in the Atlanta Falcons. All hope of having a future franchise quarterback on the roster seemed lost and any expectations of a proper passing offense seemed little more than wishful thinking.

So what does Young do in the face of...
