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 this week looks pretty clean, all things considered.

Two players have been rules out for Sunday in safety Lathan Ransom and linebacker Trevin Wallace. Ransom has appeared in all 10 Panthers games this year with four starts on the season, registering 29 tackles, one tackle for loss, and one forced fumble. Wallace’s absence will have a larger impact on the defense given his season-long starting role. He has...

Hello CSR! Welcome to Brian Answers, part two of your weekly Panthers fan mailbag for everyone! As I expected, most of the questions that came in this week were heavily centered around the future of Bryce Young, and by association the future of the coaching staff. We mixed in some Christmas fun along the way though too. With all that said, let’s jump right in to answering your questions!

e4*: As much cathartic as inquiring – why hasn’t Bryce Young been benched yet?

I don’t see a real reason to bench Bryce Young at this point. This was supposed to...

Normally as the season goes on, the NFL picture becomes clearer and we start to get a good idea of who’s who and what every team is capable of. For the most part, we’ve reached that point in the season, but there are a handful of teams that seem to provide an unpredictable grab bag of outcomes. Two of those teams are meeting in Atlanta on Sunday.

The first time these two teams met, the Panthers were coming off two dreadful showings against the Jaguars and Cardinals (outside of the comeback attempt against the latter). The Falcons had handled the...

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...
