Cornerback Ross Cockrell remembered that play. He said it ran through his head when the Texans threw what looked like a screen pass to Hopkins. "The only thing I could think about was Odell (Beckham) and Saquon (Barkley) from last year," Cockrell said. Last year against the Giants, the...

[unable to retrieve full-text content]A season-high 20 different players saw snaps on defense at Houston.

It was also a great throw, the best of the day from quarterback Kyle Allen, who was out of sync most of the game and fumbled all three times he was sacked. “Ball security, obviously, was unacceptable by me. Put our team in some bad positions,” admitted Allen, who’s lost four fumbles in his two...

CHARLOTTE -- Head coach Ron Rivera said he expects quarterback Kyle Allen to start against the Jaguars in Week 5. If so, this will be the third straight missed game for Cam Newton, who is recovering from a foot injury. "If we're going forward right now, Kyle is going to start," Rivera said...

All 23 players of the USWNT roster that won the World Cup this summer will be in Charlotte for the match. The team will be playing matches in Pasadena, Calif., Philadelphia, St. Paul, Minn., and Chicago along with Charlotte. This marks the first time since 2000 that the USWNT is playing a...

Road Warriors Last week in Arizona, Rivera mentioned how cool he thought it was to see players spending their free time together and bonding on the road. While the team may not have had an extra day in Houston like they did in Arizona, Rivera still saw the guys relaxing in "pods," sharing...

[unable to retrieve full-text content]The Panthers recorded six sacks and two takeaways in a defensive win in Houston.

Tight end Greg Olsen was still in disbelief after the game. “Kyle getting out of that is incredible,” Olsen said. “We needed a play when things weren’t going very good. That broken play saved us. It was huge. I saw him almost down on one knee and stand up and Jarius was wide open. It was...

On second-and-4 from the Carolina 18-yard line, Watson tossed what looked like a screen pass to wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins on the left side. But it was a WR pass. Hopkins stopped and fired a pass across the field expecting running back Carlos Hyde to be wide open out of the backfield. “My...

Again, some math: Add Sunday’s 6.0 sacks to the eight times Carolina brought down Arizona’s Kyler Murray and you get 14.0 – one shy of a franchise record set in the final two games of the 2013 season. And through four games this season, the Panthers’ 18.0 sacks ties them with New England for the...

Last week at Arizona, McCaffrey ripped off a 76-yard touchdown run – the longest of his career. He didn’t have that kind of room to run free on this particular Sunday in Houston. The Texans and their disruptive front line headlined by star defensive end J.J. Watt didn’t allow a run longer than...

Newton, who has always prided himself on exhibiting toughness on the field, said he wanted to be out there for his “fans and team” at the start of the season. But he explained those first two games “humbled” him, and he realized he needed to take time away to recover. “I needed to see that me...

The status of Carolina’s O-line On the flip side, one of the biggest question marks heading into Sunday’s matchup with the Texans will be the Panthers' offensive line. Last week saw the introduction of rookie left tackle Greg Little as he rotated with Daryl Williams, but after right guard...

CHARLOTTE - The Panthers have listed their final injury report prior to Week 4 at Houston. Carolina ruled out guard Trai Turner (ankle) and quarterback Cam Newton (foot) for the game. Turner didn't practice throughout the week after injuring his ankle in the win at Arizona. Cornerback Donte...

Carolina has only played Houston four times in franchise history, the fewest of any opponent. However, there are plenty of connections and storylines that make this week's contest in Houston very compelling. Take a look at what the Texans players and staff are saying ahead of Sunday's matchup:

Website submission from Derek in Raleigh, NC: Are you ready to say Kyle Allen should be QB going forward? If by “going forward” you mean at Houston and maybe another game or two, sure. Beyond that, I liked the gist of Steve Smith Sr.’s take this week when he suggested folks “pump the brakes”...

None of the experts believed in Carolina a week ago in Arizona. That worked out pretty well for the Panthers, who improved to 1-2 with a 38-20 win. The vast majority of pickers are siding with Houston (2-1) in this Week 4 matchup, but everyone seems to think this will be a close game. Gregg...

CHARLOTTE - The Panthers announced the team's second injury report of the week on Thursday. Cornerback Donte Jackson (groin) did not practice after being a limited participant on Wednesday. Defensive tackle Kawann Short (shoulder) and guard Trai Turner (ankle) also did not practice after...

CHARLOTTE - Christian McCaffrey was named the FedEx Ground Player of the Week, the league announced on Thursday. He joined Patrick Mahomes who was selected as the FedEx Air Player of the Week. McCaffrey led the NFL in rushing yards in Week 3 with 153 yards on the ground. The running back's...

Last week against the Cardinals, the Panthers were without longtime defensive tackle Kawann Short, who was sidelined with a shoulder injury. As a result, rookies along the defensive front, like edge rushers Brian Burns and Christian Miller, stepped into the spotlight, as well as veteran...
