Panthers | Derrick Brown may be ready for camp Fri Jun 13, 02:56 PM
Carolina Panthers DT Derrick Brown (knee) said he hopes he will be able to be ready for the start of training camp.
| Footballguys view: Derrick Brown is a force against the run. The Panthers rush defense basically collapsed without him last year after his season was ended by a meniscus injury in Week 1. We'll be watching his progress in camp to help project the Week 1 matchup against the new-look Jaguars offense. |

Link to story Panthers | Tetairoa McMillan does not practice Wed Jun 11, 03:14 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan (leg) did not participate in practice Wednesday, June 11, because he was kicked in the leg during practice Tuesday, June 10. Head coach Dave Canales said McMillan may return to practice Thursday, June 12.
| Footballguys view: This is a great opportunity to remind you it's June. We're still in the lighter stage of workouts for the offseason. Carolina's decision to sit McMillan is neither surprising nor alarming. This is true of the vast majority of players being held out of workouts this time of year. The Panthers finish out their mandatory minicamp with a final practice on Thursday. It would be great if McMillan participates. Also, fantasy investors shouldn't lose any sleep if he doesn't. We'll follow up as needed. |
Panthers | Adam Thielen not practicing Wed Jun 11, 01:31 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Adam Thielen is not participating in practice Wednesday, June 11, but appears to be receiving the day off.
| Footballguys view: In 11 seasons as a pro, Thielen has 685 receptions for 8,311 yards and 64 touchdowns, numbers that are among the top 15 in the league among active players. Some missed work in June isn't going to have a significant impact on his season, assuming there's nothing serious here. If he's available and in the lineup this season, Thielen's chances of outperforming his WR65 ADP and 15th-round price are good. |

Panthers | Veterans helping Tetairoa McMillan Fri Jun 6, 04:16 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan said he has been learning a lot from WRs Adam Thielen and WR Hunter Renfrow during offseason workouts.
| Footballguys view: Thielen coming back for one more year should be a good development for McMillan, and 2024 additions Jalen Coker and Xavier Legette even though it complicates the target tree this year. McMillan learning from Thielen and Renfrow could be a sign that the team doesn't plan on only playing him outside even though his size, speed and athleticism make him a natural fit there. Playing big slot would get McMillan better matchups and easier targets, so this is potentially a good thing for his value. |
Panthers | Tommy Tremble could return during preseason Wed Jun 4, 12:02 AM
Carolina Panthers TE Tommy Tremble (back) could return before the end of the preseason, head coach Dave Canales told reporters Tuesday, June 3.
| Footballguys view: Tremble had back surgery recently early last month. Tremble, who signed a new two-year deal with the Panthers ahead of free agency in March, joined the team as a 2021 third-round pick. He has 85 catches for 782 yards and nine touchdowns in 61 career games. Ja'Tavion Sanders, at TE32 on the Footballguys Projections, is the most fantasy-relevant Panthers tight end. |

Panthers | Jalen Coker nursing minor injury Tue May 27, 08:49 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Jalen Coker (undisclosed) was held out of organized team activities on Tuesday, May 27, as a precaution, according to head coach Dave Canales. Coker is dealing with an undisclosed soft-tissue injury.
| Footballguys view: The undrafted free agent made a significant impact last year, finishing the season third on the team in receiving with 478 yards in just 11 games (four starts). As SI.com noted, Coker trailed only Adam Thielen (615) and fellow rookie Xavier Legette (497) in that category. Twenty-three of Coker's 32 catches were good for first downs. Even with the addition of first-round draft pick Tetairoa McMillan, Coker will have a prominent role. He won't rush back from this issue, but it doesn't seem like a long-term problem. |
Panthers | Hunter Renfrow making an impression Tue May 27, 04:03 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Hunter Renfrow '(has) a lot in his game' and 'just makes these huge strides (weekly),' according to head coach Dave Canales.'You see weekly, he just makes these huge strides, just getting his feet under him. And I can tell too, just having coached wide receivers especially, but he's got a lot in his game. Releases, top-of-the-route setup, avoidance, different things where he can double up stuff at the top of his routes. And you can see him kinda working through his inventory, kinda his tool bag - if you will. And it's been really cool, just to watch him, as his feet get underneath him and the explosiveness and all the little things show up, it's been really fun to see,' Canales told reporters on Tuesday, May 27.
| Footballguys view: Renfrow was out of the league last season, but he caught 103 passes for 1,038 yards and nine touchdowns for the Raiders in 2021, a breakout after a pair of solidly productive years (105 catches in 2019 and 2020 combined). In five seasons, he has 269 catches for 2,884 yards and 17 touchdowns. In Carolina, he joins a receiving corps with a pair of first-round picks in Tetairoa McMillan and Xavier Legettet, veteran Adam Thielen, and second-year man Jalen Coker. If nothing else, Renfrow brings a different skill set to the offense. |

Panthers | TE Tommy Tremble Should Be Ready For Training Camp After Back Surgery Tue May 27, 02:07 PM
The Panthers will not have tight end Tommy Tremble on the field for the final phase of their offseason work. Head coach Dave Canales told reporters after Tuesday's practice that Tremble had back surgery recently. He will miss the rest of the spring but is expected to return to action when the team gets to training camp this summer.
| Footballguys view: Tremble, who signed a new two-year deal with the Panthers ahead of free agency in March, joined the team as a 2021 third-round pick. He has 85 catches for 782 yards and nine touchdowns in 61 career games. Ja'Tavion Sanders, at TE32 on the Footballguys Projections, is the most fantasy-relevant Panthers tight end. |

Panthers | Tetairoa McMillan gets seal of approval from fellow WR Fri May 23, 12:18 AM
Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan is 'that guy,' according to fellow receiver and new teammate Adam Thielen.'He's a big long receiver that has phenomenal body control and can make contested catches and can play a lot of different spots, which, in this league, in my opinion, to be a great receiver in this league, you have to be able to play in the slot, you have to be able to play outside, you have to be able to run a lot of different routes and make contested catches. So, from the little I've seen, he's that guy,' Thielen told the team's website recently.
| Footballguys view: It's high praise from a veteran like Thielen, and for good reason; McMillan might be the best wide receiver from this draft class. He's got a dash of Mike Evans to his game, and McMillan can win in many different ways. With McMillan's natural talent (and his big body being a red zone threat), Fantasy GMs like him as a WR3/WR4 with upside. |

Link to story Panthers | Coach happy with Tetairoa McMillan Sun May 18, 04:03 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan has been impressive during offseason workouts and has shown a very good work ethic, according to wide receivers coach Rob Moore. 'He works on his ability to finish, and try and be detailed. It's one of the hardest things for young players to really dial in on the details of every play. He was really dialed in,' Moore said.
| Footballguys view: McMillan was arguably the best wide receiver in this draft class, and there's shades of Mike Evans to his game. His size/speed combination is going to help move the chains, and McMillan's consistency should make him a favorite target for QB Bryce Young early and often in 2025. |
Panthers | Trevor Etienne inks with Carolina Tue May 13, 01:59 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Trevor Etienne signed his rookie contract on Tuesday, May 13. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Etienne, the younger brother of Jaguars running back Travis Etienne, played two years at Florida before transferring to Georgia for the 2024 season. He ran 122 times for 609 yards and nine touchdowns while also catching 32 passes in his lone season with the Bulldogs. With 2024 second-round pick Jonathon Brooks (knee) already ruled out for this season, Chuba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle, and Raheem Blackshear are the remaining running backs for Carolina. |

Carolina Panthers LB Jadeveon Clowney, TE Jordan Matthews and WR Dax Milne were released Thursday, May 8. The team also waived WR T.J. Luther, OG Andrew Raym and DT Jerrod Clark and waived/injured DT Popo Aumavae (undisclosed).
| Footballguys view: Clowney is the biggest name here, and it's not a surprise considering there were rumblings he could be cut before the draft. In 14 games last year, Clowney totaled 5.5 sacks and can still get after the passer in a part-time role. Clowney should have no problem getting a job for 2025. |

Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list Thursday, May 8, and will miss the entire 2025 season.
| Footballguys view: Terrible news for Brooks here. He fell to the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft because of a 2023 knee injury he suffered in his final season with the Texas Longhorns. Brooks barely played as a rookie, then he re-injured the ligament in Week 14. The Panthers move forward with Chuba Hubbard as their top back. Free agent Rico Dowdle and rookie Trevor Etienne will compete for reserve snaps. |
Panthers | Tetairoa McMillan draws lofty comparison Sun May 4, 01:26 AM
Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan was compared to Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins by an NFL executive. 'I think he is like Tee Higgins,' the executive said. 'That is higher than Tee went, but you would still be getting a top-15 receiver in the league.'
| Footballguys view: There were some in the scouting community who compared McMillan to Mike Evans, Michael Pittman, or Drake London. Depending on where you categorize WR/CB Travis Hunter (Jaguars), McMillan was arguably the best receiver in this class. He's a prototypical 'X' receiver who can dominate at the catch point. QB Bryce Young was apparently vouching for McMillan in the pre-draft process, so we may see an instant chemistry between the two. We will watch his career with great interest. |

Link to story Panthers | Adam Thielen not looking past '25 Fri May 2, 10:18 AM
Carolina Panthers WR Adam Thielen isn't looking past the 2025 season, but his family wanted him to play this season.
| Footballguys view: Thielen chose to play one more year after consulting his family. He reworked his contract to make it essentially a one-year, $8.5 million deal for 2025. Thielen can still produce, even though the Panthers have added more talent to the room this offseason (mainly in the draft). Last year, Thielen caught 48 passes for 615 yards and five touchdowns in 10 games. Now, with first-round pick Tetairoa McMillan as likely the lead receiver we should see Thielen work as a solid veteran/no.3 option for QB Bryce Young. |

Link to story Panthers | Hunter Renfrow dealt with illness Wed Apr 30, 11:05 AM
Carolina Panthers WR Hunter Renfrow (illness) dealt with challenges after a diagnosis of the autoimmune condition ulcerative colitis, which had left him with weight loss, fatigue, and high fevers. 'It kicked my butt pretty good,' Renfrow said. 'Last year, I fluctuated in weight; I went down to 150 pounds. I had like seven straight days of 103-degree fevers. It's tough to play when you're not feeling great.' Renfrow said he's back up to around 187 pounds.
| Footballguys view: Renfrow has shown what he's capable of as a front-line slot receiver. He caught 103 passes for 1,038 yards and nine touchdowns for the Raiders in 2021, a breakout after a pair of solidly productive years (105 catches in 2019 and 2020 combined). In five seasons, he has 269 catches for 2,884 yards and 17 touchdowns. In Carolina, he joins a receiving corps with a pair of first-round picks in Xavier Legette and Tetairoa McMillan, veteran Adam Thielen, and second-year man Jalen Coker. |

He caught 103 passes for 1,038 yards and nine touchdowns for the Raiders in 2021, a breakout after a pair of solidly productive years (105 catches in 2019 and 2020 combined).

QB Bryce Young reportedly felt strong enough about him that he walked into the offices of head coach Dave Canales and general Dan Morgan before the draft and told them: 'We need to pick this guy.'
| Footballguys view: Young looked better after getting benched last year. McMillan is going to help him look even better this year. The big-bodied rookie has some Drake London/Mike Evans to his game and can command the football. As Young continues to develop into a better passer, McMillan rises up fantasy rankings. |
