CHARLOTTE — Two of the Panthers' starting offensive linemen did not participate in the short week's first practice.
Both left tackle Russell Okung (calf) and right guard John Miller (ankle) were sidelined Monday during what was more of a walkthrough following Sunday's loss to the Saints...
That means the Panthers have to eliminate those "my bad" mistakes if they're going to improve against Gurley the second time around.
"You can't get too nosy. You can't feel like you have to make every play," Burns said. "That's something I have a problem with sometimes, I feel like I've got to...
CHARLOTTE — The Panthers on Monday released wide receiver Seth Roberts.
Roberts played in all seven of Carolina's games this season, making four receptions for 31 yards. He was used in a reserve role on offense, playing a season-high 41 percent of snaps in Sunday's loss to New Orleans. But...
The defense's inability to stop the Saints had consequences for the Panthers' offense, which was efficient in averaging 6.6 yards per play. Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater finished 23-of-28 for 254 yards with two touchdowns. Carolina even ended the game 6-of-9 on third down, keeping things close...
Rhule wasn't left with many good choices on fourth-and-17 from the New Orleans 47, especially considering he had one timeout left. Punting may have pinned the Saints deep, but it wouldn't have left much time for the offense had the defense gotten a stop. But frankly, the Panthers hadn't stopped...
BIG PLAY DJ
Wide receiver DJ Moore had a pair of touchdowns in the first half, scoring the first on an explosive play.
On second-and-14 from the Carolina 26, Moore was wide open down the middle of the field, and quarterback Teddy Bridgewater hit him in stride. The wideout did the rest...

CHARLOTTE — After missing last week's loss to the Bears with a knee injury, wide receiver Curtis Samuel is active for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Samuel has been a critical third-down target for Carolina this season, recording nine first downs on 13 touches. Overall, Samuel has 19...
Defense on third down
Carolina's had defensive issues on third down all season long, entering Week 7 ranked No. 29 by allowing a 50.7 percent conversion rate. Only the Bills, Giants, and Titans have been worse.
That issue probably won't go away this week, as New Orleans has had one of the...
CHARLOTTE — In advance of Sunday's matchup against the Saints, the Panthers have activated wide receiver Marken Michel and offensive lineman Mike Horton from the practice squad as COVID-19 replacements.
Michel and Horton's activations are similar to the moves Carolina made to bring up running...
CHARLOTTE — The Panthers on Friday activated kicker Joey Slye and offensive lineman Trent Scott from the reserve/COVID-19 list. Carolina also placed cornerback Rasul Douglas on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

CHARLOTTE — Wide receiver Curtis Samuel (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints after being limited in practice all week.
Samuel missed Week 6's loss to the Bears with the injury. Head coach Matt Rhule classified Samuel as day-to-day earlier this week.
Cornerback Donte...
Chinn's skillset was as clear as ever during a three-play sequence in Week 6 against the Bears. Early in the third quarter, Chinn blitzed and rushed a Nick Foles throw on second down. Then he batted a pass away from tight end Jimmy Graham on third down to force a punt. And after running back...
