Panthers | RB Brooks should play Week 1 Wed Sep 2, 03:44 PM
Carolina Panthers HC Dave Canales said he is "very optimistic" RB Jonathon Brooks will play in Week 1 against the Bears.
| Footballguys view: Brooks worked to the side at Wednesday's practice. Meanwhile, Chuba Hubbard has returned to practice after missing practice for a couple of weeks with a hamstring injury. The plan is for Hubbard and Brooks to split carries this season. That means the fantasy plan should be Hubbard as an RB2/flex and Brooks as a deep flex play to begin the regular season. |

Panthers | Trevor Etienne battling ankle injury Sat Aug 29, 01:18 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Trevor Etienne (ankle) suffered an ankle injury during the preseason game against the Houston Texans Friday, Aug. 28, according to head coach Dave Canales.
| Footballguys view: We'll see how long this ankle injury will bother Etienne, a player who has gotten some starter's snaps earlier this month in training camp. He's third on the depth chart behind Jonathon Brooks and Chuba Hubbard, but Eteinne has the skill set to be a three-down back. |

Link to story Panthers | Darren Waller unlikely to play Friday Tue Aug 25, 01:13 AM
Carolina Panthers TE Darren Waller will likely be held out of the team's preseason game against the Houston Texans on Friday, Aug. 28. He is expected to take part in some team drills during the joint practice session, however.
| Footballguys view: Waller officially signed with the Panthers last Monday. The 33-year-old would not end up taking part in the joint practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Wednesday nor the ensuing preseason contest on Friday. As for this week, when the Houston Texans come to town, Canales says he expects almost the same for the former Pro Bowl pass catcher. Canales also stated that Waller is not expected to suit up for the preseason finale at Bank of America Stadium on Friday. |

Panthers | Xavier Legette done for the preseason Tue Aug 25, 01:10 AM
Carolina Panthers WR Xavier Legette (ankle, foot) won't take part in joint practices with the Houston Texans on Wednesday, Aug. 26, and won't play in the team's final preseason game. Legette will continue wearing a walking boot through Thursday, Aug. 27, per head coach Dave Canales.
| Footballguys view: That boot made an appearance this past Friday, as Legette was sidelined for the Panthers' preseason tilt against the Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Stadium. Legette is coming off a disappointing 2025, where he experienced dips across the board from his rookie campaign. The 2024 first-rounder amassed 35 receptions for 363 yards and three touchdowns. Carolina will begin their regular season against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, Sept. 13. |
Panthers | Chuba Hubbard should be ready for opener Tue Aug 25, 01:05 AM
Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (hamstring) should be ready for the start of the regular season, according to head coach Dave Canales.
| Footballguys view: All offseason long, the expectation has been that Carolina will have Jonathon Brooks and Hubbard in a timeshare, at least to start the season. Canales confirmed that will indeed be the case, with one back starting a series and the other coming in on third downs. While we're set for a 50-50 split to start the season, we've already seen Canales lean more toward one back if someone is playing better, as we saw with Hubbard and Rico Dowdle last season. So, don't be surprised if one or the other seizes more control of the backfield as the season progresses. |

Carolina Panthers WR Xavier Legette (ankle, foot) did not play in the preseason game versus the Jacksonville Jaguars Friday, Aug. 21, because of a twisted ankle and foot soreness, according to head coach Dave Canales.
| Footballguys view: In early August, Legette suffered what reporters called a 'stinger,' and now he's dealing with two more problems (ankle/foot). Legette had his ankle rolled up on in practice Wednesday, Aug. 19, and it is uncertain how much time he will miss. |

Panthers | Jonathon Brooks logs four touches Sun Aug 16, 04:26 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks rushed three times for five yards and caught a nine-yard pass during the preseason game against the Buffalo Bills Saturday, Aug. 15.
| Footballguys view: The most important outcome here is that Brooks didn't get hurt in his first live game action. Chuba Hubbard is already week-to-week with a hamstring injury, so Brooks could start Week 1 against the mediocre Bears runs defense. Brooks didn't pop any big gains or look like an impressive talent, but the line did him no favors. Nothing from this game should push him down from the new higher ADP he has after Hubbard got hurt in practice this week, but nothing from this game should push him higher either. |

Panthers | Jalen Coker standing out Thu Aug 13, 06:21 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Jalen Coker has been open regularly during training camp and has been catching passes consistently during practices, according to ESPN.com's Mike Kaye.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs know that Coker can ball. His current ADP (WR55, 14.02) seems low for what his potential and upside could be in the Panthers offense. We love taking him late in drafts and stashing for at least some flex-worthy matchups. |

Panthers | Chuba Hubbard sidelined Thu Aug 13, 11:25 AM
Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (hamstring) is out of practice Thursday, Aug. 13, due to a hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: Panthers HC Dave Canales said he's confident Hubbard will be ready for Week 1. He's considered week-to-week with the hamstring injury. Jonathon Brooks has been dazzling in Panthers camp, and he's set to play in the preseason. The team will use both backs in a committee this year. |

Panthers | Darren Waller inks one-year deal Thu Aug 13, 10:39 AM
Free-agent Darren Waller (Dolphins) has reportedly signed a one-year deal with the Carolina Panthers, according to a source on Wednesday, Aug. 12.
| Footballguys view: Waller was retired but played for the Dolphins in nine games last year, scoring six touchdowns while catching 24 passes for 283 yards. The Panthers should use him as a red-zone target, and Waller should rotate snaps with guys like Tommy Tremble, Mitchell Evans, and Ja'Tavion Sanders. The situation and Waller's ability near pay dirt make him a consideration as a low-end TE2 with upside. |

Panthers | Jonathon Brooks set to play Saturday Wed Aug 12, 01:15 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks is scheduled to play in the preseason game Saturday, Aug. 15, according to head coach Dave Canales.
| Footballguys view: Both Brooks and Chubba Hubbard are set to play in the team's second preseason game. Brooks missed all of last year due to a knee injury, but he's got the natural talent to be a productive runner in the pros. Current ADP has both backs being drafted near each other. Brooks is going off the board at RB36 (9.10) while Hubbard is RB35 (9.02) in 12-team PPR leagues. |
