Today is Wednesday, which means are required to release their first practice reports of the week as it pertains to player injuries. The Panthers haven’t posted it in a friendly chart on the site yet, but we got the report, and we’ll make it pretty for you:

• Bryce Young – DNP (ankle)
• DJ Wonnum – DNP (rest)
• Jaycee Horn – LP (rest)
• Damien Lewis – LP (shoulder)
• Princely Umanmielen – LP (ribs)

And that’s it. Everyone else on the active roster practiced in full. There’s lots of good news there. Damien Lewis missed Sunday’s win...

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

Bio

Mauigoa has consistently been a top tackle prospect since leading his hometown high school team to an undefeated season. He then transferred to IMG Academy and was the consensus number one tackle...

Dave Canales is playing coy with the media this week about Bryce Young’s availability. Young reportedly suffered a high ankle sprain in the third quarter against the New York Jets last Sunday that caused him to exit the game early. Backup quarterback Andy Dalton stepped in and closed out the game, but was as stymied by the Jets defense as Young had been in a low-scoring game.

Enter the Buffalo Bills. They have one of the worst run defenses in the NFL and an all around worse (not bad, just lesser) defense than the Jets. The Panthers offensive game plan...

The Carolina Panthers managed to grind out one of the more ugly wins in recent history in a 13-6 victory over a wilting New York Jets team. Ugly wins still count the same in the win column, though – and the Panthers don’t seem to be in the business of collecting style points.

While the old heads among us may prefer the phrase “defensive slug fest” and took no issue with the flow of the game, there are a fair few in the Panthers fanbase who took some exception to the method of the Panthers win.

Let’s take a look...

Hello CSR! Welcome to Brian Asks, your weekly Panthers fan bag for everyone! The Panthers are currently on a three game winning streak after managing to triumph over the New York Jets on Sunday. However, they will have a tough task ahead as a likely pissed off Bills team is coming to Charlotte, fresh off a loss to the Atlanta Falcons. These columns are always more fun when the Panthers are coming off of a win, but this week the Panthers will need to pivot and try to find a way to win with quarterback Andy Dalton all but confirmed...

The 4-3 Carolina Panthers have as many wins as the 4-2 Buffalo Bills entering Week 8, just like everybody predicted. The similarities are expected to end there, however, as the obvious betting favorites are enjoying one of the larger spread margins of the week. Only the Indianapolis Colts (-14.5 favorites over the Tennessee Titans) and the Kansas City Chiefs (-10.5 favorites over the very injured Washington Commanders) are bigger favorites in Week 8.

Bills: -7.5 (-115)

There weren’t many details available Monday morning on the ankle injury that forced Bryce Young out of Sunday’s win against the Jets.

“We’re evaluating for the right ankle,” Panthers head coach Dave Canales said via the team’s website after the Panthers’ 13-6 win. “So we’re taking all the information and we’re going to look at him when we get home some more, and see where we’re at.”

Young’s ankle was injured when he took his only sack of the day for a loss of 12 yards.

According to the Panthers’ website, Young left after Sunday’s game wearing a walking boot....

The Carolina Panthers are officially going streaking. We’ve watched enough wins now this season that I feel more comfortable picking a few nits over how this win was achieved, but the bottom line is that this beautiful, deeply flawed team has produced its most enjoyable stretch of football since at least 2018. We’re going to celebrate this later.

For now, let’s all keep our fingers crossed that Bryce Young’s ankle heals in record time. For better and worse, and there’s plenty of both to go around on him, he’s the best quarterback on the roster right now. The Panthers will...

The Carolina Panthers defeated the New York Jets in an ugly football game. But a win is a win is a win, and the Panthers now have a winning record.

First Quarter

The Panthers won the toss and deferred their possession to the second half. The Jets, who have been a good returning team this season, ran the ball back out close to midfield. The Jets picked one first down, but the defense did a good job of stopping it there. The Jets ended up in between a comfortable field goal and a punt, so they went for it...

The Carolina Panthers are on a two-game winning streak stretching back to the Week 5 of the 2025 regular season. Some might think the biggest test during this unprecedented stretch of success will be Carolina’s Week 8 home game against the Super Bowl-favorite Buffalo Bills. They would be wrong. The biggest test is going to be the winless New York Jets on the road.

The Panthers have yet to show up ready to play on the road and they are facing an opponent they should be able to competently handle. It’s a real nightmare scenario for a franchise that is...
