Link to storyCarolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan (hamstring) is participating in practice Tuesday, Aug. 26.
Footballguys view: McMillan was sidelined a little more than a week due to a minor hamstring injury. Still, as CBSSports.com suggests, getting back on the field more than a week before the Panthers kick off Week 1 prep bodes well for the eighth overall pick in this year's draft being available at Jacksonville on Sunday, Sept. 7. For now, we'll watch for more between now and next Wednesday, when Carolina is required to post their initial Week 1 injury report. |

Link to storyCarolina Panthers TE Tommy Tremble (back) was activated off the Physically Unable to Perform list on Thursday, Aug. 21, following back surgery in May. The team announced he will not play in their preseason finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Footballguys view: This makes the window for Ja'Tavion Sanders to start the season hot while Tremble is on the mend smaller, but early season matchups against Jacksonville, Arizona, and Atlanta are very promising. Sanders should still be on your waiver wire watch list, especially if Adam Thielen gets dealt to Minnesota. |

Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan (hamstring) is dealing with a sore hamstring and may not be available for the preseason game Thursday, Aug. 18, according to head coach Dave Canales.
Footballguys view: McMillan, the eighth overall selection of the 2025 NFL draft, did not participate in Monday's practice. "T-Mac had a really sore hamstring," Canales told reporters. "Imaging looked fine, but he just kinda all stoved up . . . We just thought we'd shut him down for a couple of days and turn him back around." McMillan recorded two receptions for a game-high 43 yards in the preseason opener against the Cleveland Browns on Aug. 8. He was targeted twice, to no avail, during Saturday's outing in Houston. We'll continue to watch for more on this in coming days. |

Carolina Panthers RB Rico Dowdle caught one pass for 15 yards during the preseason game against the Houston Texans Saturday, Aug. 16. He also rushed for two yards on two carries during the game.
Footballguys view: Dowdle has been the third down back with the starters, which could cut into Chuba Hubbard's ceiling and also indicates that Dowdle has a chance to be a true everydown back if Hubbard misses time. The team likes Dowdle and he should be on your injury upside late round running back list. |

Carolina Panthers QB Andy Dalton (elbow) suffered an elbow injury during the preseason game Saturday, Aug. 16, and has been ruled out.
Footballguys view: Dalton is there to give veteran depth at the position. Bryce Young is cemented as the starter, and we are curious to see how much further he can develop. As a seasoned veteran, Dalton doesn't need a ton of work in the preseason. We'll see how serious this elbow injury is next week in practice. |

Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan and QB Bryce Young have demonstrated chemistry 'from the get-go,' according to David Newton of ESPN.com.
Footballguys view: McMillan should become the clear #1 target for Bryce Young immediately. He could easily outproduce his price tag of WR27 and 55 overall. Xavier Legette, Jalen Coker, Adam Thielen. and Ja'Tavion Sanders give Young a varied and effective group of secondary targets. He's one of many quarterbacks going outside of the top 10-12 who could become reliable everyweek fantasy starters this season. |

Carolina Panthers WR Hunter Renfrow (hamstring) suffered a hamstring injury during practice Wednesday, July 30.
Footballguys view: Panthers HC Dave Canales said Renfrow's hamstring injury is minor. Renfrow is a seasoned veteran who is trying to make a comeback this year. He's shown chemistry with QB Bryce Young this offseason, so hopefully this injury doesn't knock him off track as he tries to make the 53-man roster. |
