Panthers | Chuba Hubbard back at practice Thursday after Wednesday 'vet day' Thu Nov 12, 01:55 PM
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard was back at practice on Thursday. Hubbard did not practice on Wednesday, which the team treated as a 'vet day', as Carolina prepares for Sunday's Week 10 game at the Saints.
| Footballguys view: Hubbard has a big workload for the Panthers, so he's going to get some mid-week rest days. Jonathon Brooks is back to practicing for the Panthers, but it's not clear if he's going to play in Week 10. If Brooks does play against the Saints, he's only a change-of-pace back behind Hubbard. With his role, Hubbard is an RB1 for Fantasy GMs. |

Panthers | Bryce Young off the injury report for first time since Week 3 Wed Nov 11, 02:42 PM
Panthers QB Bryce Young was off the injury report on Wednesday for the first time since Week 3. Young had been listed with an ankle injury, and he was a full participant on last week's estimated report.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Panthers here. Even with a 3-5 record, the Panthers sit atop the NFC South. A healthy Young can help them stay on track for the playoffs. From a fantasy perspective, we like Young as a QB1 against the Saints in Week 10. |

Panthers | Chuba Hubbard not in uniform Wednesday, 'could be a vet day' Wed Nov 11, 01:24 PM
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard was not in uniform at the start of practice on Wednesday. The beat writer suggested it "could be a vet day."
| Footballguys view: We don't think this is a big deal. Hubbard also had a rest day on a Wednesday in October before returning to full practice that Thursday. |

Panthers | Xavier Legette returns to practice from injured reserve Wed Nov 11, 12:39 PM
Panthers WR Xavier Legette returned to practice on Wednesday. Legette was placed on injured reserve in early October with a knee injury, and the team said Monday it would open his 21-day practice window this week.
| Footballguys view: Legette returns to a full practice on Wednesday, so there's a chance he suits up in Week 10. Fantasy GMs can leave him on the waiver wire for now as there's not a clear-cut (and fantasy relevant) role for him currently in the Panthers' passing game. |

Panthers | Panthers open Jonathon Brooks' 21-day practice window Wed Nov 11, 12:16 PM
The Panthers opened the 21-day practice window for RB Jonathon Brooks on Wednesday as he works back from injured reserve. Brooks is set to return to the practice field this week and has three weeks to practice. He would still need to be added back to the active roster to appear in a game.
| Footballguys view: Go ahead and stash Brooks on your bench if you play in a deeper league. He's practicing in full on Wednesday, so there's a chance Brooks could get back out there in Week 10. He's a talented but oft-injured back who will get on the field as a change-of-pace back behind Chubba Hubbard. The talent is there for him to do more, but perhaps a limited role can keep him healthy for the first time *checks notes* ever with the Panthers. |

Panthers | Panthers to open Xavier Legette's 21-day practice window this week Mon Nov 9, 01:32 PM
Panthers head coach Dave Canales said on Monday that the team will open the 21-day practice window for WR Xavier Legette this week. Legette has been out since Week 2 with a knee injury.
| Footballguys view: Legette's return to practice opens a three-week window before he has to be added to the active roster. In 2026, Legette has appeared in two games for the Panthers and recorded 2 catches for 64 yards. We'll be watching for more. |

Panthers | Panthers to 'see how the next two days go' before opening Brooks' window Mon Nov 9, 01:32 PM
Panthers head coach Dave Canales said on Monday that the team will have to see how the next two days go before deciding whether to open the 21-day practice window for RB Jonathon Brooks, who was placed on injured reserve in September following core muscle surgery.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com reported, Brooks, who remains on IR, was seen working off to the side during the Panthers' unofficial practice last Tuesday, perhaps signaling some progress for the oft-injured RB, who last saw game action in Week 2. In Brooks' absence, Chuba Hubbard has dominated Carolina's backfield touches. Hubbard is currently RB10 overall through Sunday's Week 9 games. |

Panthers | Waller catches 8 passes for 90 yards, a touchdown in loss to Broncos Sun Nov 8, 04:15 PM
Carolina Panthers TE Darren Waller caught 8 passes for 90 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Denver Broncos. He was projected for 5.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 19.0.
| Footballguys view: Waller's big game should remind us to err on the side of starting tight ends when they face a Broncos defense that has allowed seven touchdowns to tight ends and six games of 62 yards or more to tight ends in nine games this season. Brock Bowers, Dalton Kincaid, and Hunter Henry draw the Broncos in the fantasy playoffs in Weeks 15-17. |

Panthers | Young throws for 276 yards, three touchdowns in loss to Broncos Sun Nov 8, 04:15 PM
Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young completed 28 of 39 passes for 276 yards with 3 touchdowns and 1 interception and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Denver Broncos. He was projected for 16.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 21.3.
| Footballguys view: Young hung tough against the Broncos pass rush and leaned heavily on Darren Waller and other tight ends, a longtime weakness of the Denver defense. He bounced back for fantasy just in time for a matchup against a Saints defense that held him to 287 passing yards and one touchdown in the two matchups last year. He's into the toughest section of his schedule after starting with the easier run of poor pass defenses. |

Panthers | Canales said Bryce Young 'looked good moving around' this week Sun Nov 8, 03:04 PM
Panthers head coach Dave Canales said QB Bryce Young looked good moving around this week. Young did not hesitate on a 13-yard scramble during Sunday's game against the Broncos. Young had been listed as a full participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report with an ankle injury, and Canales said 'maybe' the week before when asked whether a knee issue was limiting Young's mobility.

Panthers | Bryce Young listed as full participant on estimated report Wed Nov 4, 05:00 PM
Panthers QB Bryce Young (ankle) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report. The Panthers did not practice Wednesday after practicing Tuesday, and the estimated report reflects what was seen on the practice field the day before. Carolina hosts the Broncos in Week 9.
| Footballguys view: Young is coming off a Thursday night game in Week 8 where he was sacked six times. Now, he gets to face a sack-happy Broncos defense in Week 9. The Panthers need to do a much better job protecting him this week. Expect a lot of short passes to keep the Broncos' rushers at bay. |

Panthers | 'Increasing chatter' that Panthers, Bryce Young quietly working toward new deal Wed Nov 4, 06:19 AM
Panthers QB Bryce Young remains without a second contract in his fourth season, but there is "increasing chatter" that the Panthers and Young are quietly working toward a new deal. In theory, a new deal could be done at any time. Young and the Panthers "never really got anywhere" on a contract before the season.
| Footballguys view: With no movement before the season, the plan was to let Young play through this season before getting a new deal done. Even though some struggles (playing behind that OL can't be fun) have plagued Young this season, a new deal with the Panthers that pays him in excess of $50 million annually could be in his future. |

Panthers | Darren Waller off to the side at Tuesday's practice Tue Nov 3, 02:10 PM
Panthers TE Darren Waller was off to the side at the start of practice on Tuesday. Waller was also on the side with trainers at practice two weeks ago.
| Footballguys view: Waller has been a hit-or-miss streaming option in Carolina this season, delivering two touchdowns in Week 2 and a 50-yard scoring catch in Week 7. While those performances show us the high end, Waller hasn't hit that often. As CBSSports.com notes, he has one 50-yard effort in his five other appearances and 15 catches for 209 yards on 25 targets this season. The Panthers play the Broncos in Week 9. |

Panthers | Will Lee III exits with 'a pretty good hamstring' as Panthers CB injuries mount Fri Oct 30, 01:21 AM
Panthers rookie CB Will Lee III left Thursday's 27-19 loss to the Packers with what head coach Dave Canales called "a pretty good hamstring" and did not return. Lee, who has started since Week 4, was hurt on a 53-yard completion to Christian Watson and was replaced by Chau Smith-Wade for the rest of the game. Carolina is also without CBs Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson, who are on injured reserve, and Akayleb Evans, who was placed on IR this week. Canales said second-year CB Corey Thornton is "going to get that opportunity real soon."

Panthers | Canales says 'maybe' when asked if knee is limiting Bryce Young's mobility Thu Oct 29, 11:44 PM
Panthers QB Bryce Young's knee issue may be affecting his ability to escape pressure. Asked on Thursday whether the knee was compromising Young's ability to escape, head coach Dave Canales replied, "Maybe." Young has been on the injury report with the knee but has been a full participant, and while he is still able to move, he is not as slippery as he was earlier in the season.

Panthers | Jalen Coker will play Thursday at Green Bay Wed Oct 28, 02:59 PM
Panthers WR Jalen Coker (shoulder) did not receive a game status and will play Thursday night against the Packers.
| Footballguys view: Coker caught 1-of-4 targets for nine yards in the Panthers' Week 7 loss to the Bucs. That's a terrible stat line, but Fantasy GMs should still be considering him a WR2 against the Packers on Thursday Night Football. |

Panthers QB Bryce Young (knee) was listed as a full participant again on Tuesday's estimated injury report.

Panthers | Coker held to 1 catch for 9 yards in loss to Buccaneers Sun Oct 25, 03:51 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Jalen Coker caught 1 pass for 9 yards on 4 targets in Sunday's 43-13 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was projected for 14.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.4.
| Footballguys view: Nothing worked for the Panthers on offense today in an embarrassing blowout home loss. Don't put this on Coker, and do know that the Bucs pass defense is underrated as they have frustrated Joe Burrow, Jordan Love, and Dak Prescott so far this season. Tampa Bay will face Michael Penix and the Panthers will face Love in Green Bay next week trying to hold onto first place in the NFC South. |

Panthers | Chuba Hubbard back to full practice Thursday after Wednesday rest day Thu Oct 22, 03:30 PM
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard was a full participant in practice on Thursday. He was one of four players, along with RT Taylor Moton, LB Devin Lloyd and TE Darren Waller, who had non-injury-related rest days on Wednesday. Carolina hosts the Buccaneers on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Hubbard is getting a large workload as the featured back for the Panthers, and he's hammering out tough yards between the tackles. They're going to give him some rest during the week, but Hubbard should be good to go for Week 7. We've got him as an RB1 against the Buccaneers. |

Panthers DE Jaelan Phillips (hamstring) is not expected to play Sunday against the Buccaneers, head coach Dave Canales said on Wednesday.

Phillips was downgraded to out with the hamstring injury during the game against the Lions earlier this month.

Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard was among the players on the side with trainers as individual drills began at Wednesday's practice. No reason was given. Players were in helmets only on Wednesday, so it could be a light practice. Hubbard ran for 120 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Eagles.
| Footballguys view: Hubbard picked up some tough yards against the Eagles, so he could be getting some veteran rest here. He should be fine for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, and we like Hubbard as a low-end RB1. |

| Footballguys view: The Panthers offense passed its stiffest test of the season, with Hubbard's tough running helping them close out a resounding road win against a good defense. Hubbard is a solid RB1 in a balanced offense with a line that is going to get some key starters back. He has a tough matchup against the Bucs stout run defense next week. |

Panthers | Trevor Etienne activated off IR, questionable for Sunday at Eagles Sat Oct 17, 01:45 PM
The Panthers activated RB Trevor Etienne to the 53-man roster on Saturday ahead of Sunday's Week 6 game at the Eagles. Etienne, working back from an ankle injury, was a full participant in practice every day this week and is listed as questionable. With RB AJ Dillon out with an ankle injury, the team also elevated RB Anthony Tyus III from the practice squad to serve as a third back, his second elevation.
| Footballguys view: Etienne is a versatile back who can spell Chuba Hubbard to keep the Panthers No. 1 back from wearing down. He's not worth an add outside of very deep leagues, but Etienne will be on our waiver wire watch list for his Hubbard injury upside, at least as long as No. 2 back Jonathon Brooks is out with a groin injury, which could be until around Thanksgiving. |

Panthers RB AJ Dillon (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles after missing the entire week of practice. Philadelphia is one of Dillon's former teams.
