Link to storyCarolina Panthers OG Robert Hunt (biceps) will be placed on the Reserve/Injured list because of a torn biceps, according to head coach Dave Canales. Canales also said C Austin Corbett (knee) will be placed on the Reserve/Injured list because of a Grade 2 medial collateral ligament sprain.
Footballguys view: It won't be easy to replace Hunt, coming off his first Pro Bowl season, but the Panthers wisely brought back their entire offensive line from last season. The top nine linemen from last year in snaps played returned, giving them a rare continuity and depth. Now, they're going to have to use it. Chandler Zavala replaced Hunt in the lineup, and Cade Mays came in at center, and Canales said that's how they'll proceed this week as they prepare for the Falcons. Mays also replaced Corbett at center last year when he suffered a torn biceps tendon, and started eight of the last nine games (missing one with an illness). |
Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young completed 35-of-55 passes for a career-high 328 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals. He also ran twice for two yards, while he lost a fumble.
Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's David Newton notes, Young looked dreadful in the first quarter, committing two turnovers to give him five in his first five quarters this season. Then, in the second half, it all started to click. Young remained calm and steady, finishing with a career-high 328 passing yards and three touchdowns. Tetairoa McMillan posted six receptions for a game-high 100 yards, while Hunter Renfrow (2) and Chuba Hubbard had touchdown catches. The near comeback should provide some patience for Canales and Young. |

Carolina Panthers OT Ikem Ekwonu (appendix) is expected to play in the Week 2 game even though he is listed as questionable, according to a source.
Link to storyCarolina Panthers DT Tershawn Wharton (hamstring) did not participate in practice Friday, Sept. 12, and has been ruled out for Week 2. OT Ikem Ekwonu (illness) was limited during practice and is listed as questionable. LB Patrick Jones II (ankle), WR Hunter Renfrow (ribs), OG Robert Hunt (foot), OG Damien Lewis (ankle, shoulder), DE A'Shawn Robinson (groin) and CB Akayleb Evans (illness) fully participated in practice and are not on the injury report.
Footballguys view: Ekwonu is recovering from an August 24 appendectomy. The team will err on the side of caution, but if their starting left tackle can play on Sunday, it should be a boost for Bryce Young, who certainly needs one right now. |

Link to storyCarolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan posted five receptions for 68 yards on a game-high nine targets in Week 1 against the Jacksonville Jaguars in his NFL debut.
Footballguys view: McMillan wasn't disappointing in his debut and lived up to the clear #1 target billing right away, but Bryce Young was uneven at best, and isn't going to support a breakout season unless he finds his 2024 post-bye form. McMillan will face a middling Cardinals secondary next week. |

Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard ran 16 times for 57 yards in Week 1 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, while adding three receptions for 32 yards and a touchdown on five targets.
Footballguys view: The Panthers like Rico Dowdle, but Hubbard was still the clear lead back, and he got the garbage time score. Hubbard won't hit his ceiling unless Bryce Young plays better than he did on Sunday, but he's still a reliable RB2 nonetheless. |

Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young completed 18-of-35 passes for 154 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Week 1 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and he added five runs for 40 yards. Young was sacked once, and he also lost a fumble.
Footballguys view: Young wilted against a Jaguars defense that wasn't highly regarded coming into this game. He seemed to revert to the less than confident player he was before getting benched last year. We'll be watching closely next week against the Cardinals to see if Young can turn it around. He's not worth carrying in 1QB leagues after this clunker. |

Footballguys view: Yosh Nijman and Brady Christensen are the possible replacement for Ekwonu. Head coach Dave Canales did not say who would start in his place. The Panthers have solid depth at tackle and shouldn't be as affected by this as some other teams would be. |

Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard 'won't be ran dry' early in the season, according to sources.
Footballguys view: Hubbard had almost 300 touches last year (250 carries, 43 receptions) as a workhorse for the Panthers. Perhaps this year, the team will give Rico Dowdle and rookie Trevor Etienne some more work to give Hubbard a breather. This week against Jacksonville, we like Hubbard as an RB2 with upside. |
