Link to story Panthers | Carolina comes up short in playoff opener Sat Jan 10, 08:04 PM
Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young completed 21 of his 40 passes for 264 yards, a touchdown and an interception, and he rushed three times for 24 yards and a touchdown in a 34-31 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the Wild Card playoff game. RB Chuba Hubbard rushed 13 times for 46 yards and two touchdowns and caught two passes for 13 yards, and Rico Dowdle chipped in nine rushing yards on five carries and caught one pass for six yards. WR Jalen Coker delivered nine catches for a game-high 134 yards and a score, WR Tetairoa McMillan caught five passes for 81 yards, and TE Tommy Tremble secured three receptions for 22 yards. LB Christian Rozeboom led the way with nine tackles, including five solo stops, and CB Mike Jackson added three tackles, four passes defensed and an interception.
| Footballguys view: Coker and Hubbard were the players to watch here. Hubbard scored twice and ran hard to keep the Panthers in this game. Coker finished with over 100 yards receiving and seemed to make a big play every time he touched the ball. Panthers fans can hold their heads high in defeat. The Panthers put up a fight and can be excited about what they're building for the future. |

Panthers | Bryce Young's option likely to be picked up Sat Jan 10, 10:53 AM
The Carolina Panthers are expected to pick up the fifth-year option on QB Bryce Young's rookie contract, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
| Footballguys view: Young has grown during his pro career. At one point, Young looked like he might end up a bust. Instead, the 2023 no.1 overall pick led the Panthers to the Wild Card Round and played some good football. Against the Rams on Saturday, Young put up a fight with over 260 yards and one touchdown. The Panthers are building something with Young, so we'll see what else they put around him in the offseason. |

| Footballguys view: Moore's 21-day window to practice was ending Tuesday, so he had to be activated today, or he'd have remained on IR. He's been out since an elbow injury in Week 4, but he's been a valuable late-season and postseason contributor for head coach Dave Canales on three teams now. |

Panthers | Rico Dowdle is good to go Thu Jan 1, 01:20 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Rico Dowdle (toe) no longer appears on the injury report and will play in Week 18 against the Carolina Panthers.
| Footballguys view: Dowdle is ready to go for Saturday's game against the Buccaneers. With a win, the Panthers are in the playoffs. Dowdle is the lead back, but there's going to be split time (as per usual) with Chuba Hubbard. That makes Dowdle more of an RB2/flex play for Fantasy GMs in championship week. |

Panthers | Rico Dowdle misses practice Tue Dec 30, 03:28 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Rico Dowdle (toe) did not practice on Tuesday, Dec. 30. Head coach Dave Canales said the move was not expected to hurt his availability for Week 18.
| Footballguys view: Even though Dowdle sat out, head coach Dave Canales believes it won't be much of a problem ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Buccaneers. "He's got a sore toe," Canales told reporters. "A little bit more sore than normal, and so we just decided to give him a rest day. I'm pretty confident that he'll be able to go." Dowdle, who has 229 carries for 1,066 yards and a career-high six touchdowns on the season, ran for 59 yards, his most since Week 9, in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Seahawks, working in his usual timeshare with Chuba Hubbard. |

Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan caught one pass for five yards against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 17. He was targeted four times during the game.
| Footballguys view: It's not clear if the illness that made McMillan a late add to the questionable list affected his play because the Seahawks rarely allowed Bryce Young to have clean looks in the passing game. The rookie #8 overall pick lived up to the hype, but it's not clear if he has the quarterback to unlock his fantasy value long term. |

| Footballguys view: For once, it was as bad as the stats looked. Young was overwhelmed by the Seahawks defense at every turn and looked powerless to move the ball through the air for most of the afternoon. He'll still get a chance to host a playoff game if he and the Panthers win at Tampa next week. |
