The 53-man roster didn't even last 24 hours before Carolina started tinkering again. On this episode of Two Growls One Roar, we're breaking down every move the Panthers made the day after final cuts — and there's more here than you'd think for a Monday in late August.We start with the practice squad, where 12 players cleared waivers and walked right back into the building. Four of them actually matter for this roster: David Moore, cut for John Metchie III just a day earlier, lands back with the team on the strength of his relationship with Dave Canales going back to Seattle and Tampa Bay. Isaiah Simmons, the former eighth-overall pick, is back for a third season as one of the most versatile chess pieces on the roster. Jake Curhan adds more offensive line depth at a position that's already thin behind the injuries to Ikem Ekwonu and Taylor Moton. And Cam Gill returns for special-teams and pass-rush depth. We also touch on the eight rookies and young players filling out the rest of the 16-man squad, plus the international pathway exemption that let Carolina add linebacker Maz Mwansa without it counting against that number — something we explained in detail in our last episode's rules primer.From there, Bobby Okereke's deal is officially signed, and we get into why that's a real add: four of his last five seasons have topped 130 tackles, and he immediately becomes the second-most accomplished linebacker on the roster next to Devin Lloyd. But that signing wasn't free — Carolina had to place backup guard Brady Christensen, still working back from last October's torn Achilles, on injured reserve to make room.Then we walk through the Panthers' first waiver claim of the season: center Corey Bullock off Baltimore's roster, in exchange for waiving Chandler Zavala, Carolina's own 2023 fourth-round pick. It's a full-circle moment on the rules we broke down last episode — Bullock going through the actual waiver process instead of being released outright. We also flag that two of Carolina's own cuts from Sunday didn't sit on the wire long: Nick Samac was claimed by the Vikings and Trevin Wallace was claimed by the Jets, both landing directly on new 53-man rosters.We close with the names you'll see floating around on unofficial trackers that the team itself hasn't confirmed — linebacker Tyrel Dodson, defensive tackle Anthony Goodlow, and offensive lineman Torricelli Simpkins III, a Charlotte native with local ties. We give you the stats and context on all three, but we're clear about the caveat: until Panthers.com actually announces it, this is smoke, not fire.If you want to actually understand how a roster gets built in the days after cutdown — not just who made it, but who's quietly cycling through behind the scenes — this is the episode.

The Panthers are down to 53, and this one didn't go quietly. On this episode of Two Growls One Roar, we're breaking down every move Carolina made across the two-day cutdown — from Saturday's first wave all the way through Sunday night's final trim to the regular season roster limit.Before we even get into who made the team, we slow down and explain the mechanics that actually govern this week in the NFL, because half the confusion fans have on cutdown day comes from not knowing the rules. We walk through the real difference between a player being waived versus released — it comes down to accrued seasons, and it's why guys like Kyle Trask and David Moore hit free agency immediately while Trevin Wallace and Ja'seem Reed had to clear waivers first. From there we get into how the 16-man practice squad actually works, including the rule that lets teams carry up to six true veterans with no cap on their NFL experience. And we close the rules segment with the gameday elevation rule — the one that trips people up the most — where a practice squad player can be activated for a game up to three times per season without ever touching the 53, but a fourth activation means he has to be signed outright.Once the ground rules are set, we get into the actual football. Carolina swung a deadline-day trade, sending a 2028 sixth-round pick to the Chargers for defensive tackle TeRah Edwards, which tells you everything about how thin that D-line got once Tershawn Wharton landed on reserve/PUP. We go position by position through the full 53 — quarterback, running back, wide receiver, tight end, and a very well-stocked offensive line on offense; defensive line, outside linebacker, linebacker, cornerback, and safety on defense; plus the specialists rounding things out.We spend extra time on the two calls that generated the most buzz: Trevin Wallace getting waived at linebacker with Bobby Okereke's addition squeezing the room, and John Metchie III beating out veteran David Moore at receiver, largely on the strength of his chemistry with Bryce Young from their Alabama days. We also talk through why keeping both tackles' insurance policies — Rasheed Walker and rookie Monroe Freeling — matters so much with Ikem Ekwonu and Taylor Moton both starting the year on reserve lists, and who's actually in the mix to handle return duties with Trevor Etienne opening the season on IR.Then we run the full transaction log in order — every waive, every release, every reserve list move from both cutdown days — so you've got the complete paper trail in one place.If you're trying to actually understand this roster heading into Week 1, not just see a list of names, this is the episode. Subscribe for more Panthers, Hornets, and Gamecocks coverage all season long, and drop your own 53-man predictions in the comments — let's see who called it.
Training camp is officially wrapping up, and the pressure is on in Charlotte as head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan prepare to trim the roster down to 53 players. With multiple high-stakes position battles taking shape and injury news altering depth charts, predicting how this final group shakes out requires looking at dynamic usage, special teams value, and training camp momentum.On offense, Bryce Young steps into a pivotal season anchored by a fortified offensive line featuring Damien Lewis and Robert Hunt, while rookie depth continues to develop across the unit. The running back room carries significant punch with Chuba Hubbard, Jonathon Brooks, Trevor Etienne, and A.J. Dillon providing versatile backfield options. The real drama, however, lies in the wide receiver room. Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, and Jalen Coker lead the charge, but Brycen Tremayne has pushed his way onto the 53-man roster with an undeniable camp performance, jumping ahead of veteran David Moore. That leaves Moore, John Metchie III, and Ja'seem Reed fighting on the bubble for the final active spots. Meanwhile, the tight end room expands to five, featuring veteran pass-catcher Darren Waller alongside Tommy Tremble, Mitchell Evans, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and hybrid weapon Feleipe Franks, whose versatility on special teams and short-yardage packages gives the offense a distinct edge.Flipping over to the defensive side of the ball, the season-ending injury to edge rusher Nic Scourton drastically reshuffles the outside linebacker dynamic. With Scourton bound for injured reserve, Carolina relies on Jaelan Phillips, Pat Jones II, and Princely Umanmielen to lead the pass rush, while Cam Gill and Thomas Incoom slide into vital depth roles to secure the rotation. Up front, Derrick Brown anchors a stout interior defensive line, complemented by Bobby Brown III and key rotation pieces.The middle of the defense remains anchored by a dynamic linebacker corps featuring Devin Lloyd and second-year playmaker Trevin Wallace, backed by Isaiah Simmons, Claudin Cherelus, and Jackson Kuwatch. In the secondary, trim decisions at cornerback create lean depth behind cornerstones Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson, opening up roster space to maintain four safeties—led by Tre'von Moehrig and Zakee Wheatley—to bolster deep coverage and special teams units. Ryan Fitzgerald, Sam Martin, and reliable veteran JJ Jansen round out special teams to complete a balanced 53-man group ready for Week 1.
The Carolina Panthers put together their most complete performance of the preseason, rolling past the Jacksonville Jaguars 34-17 at EverBank Stadium in a game that had a little bit of everything for TGOR to break down. Kenny Pickett ran the offense with poise for most of the night, going 15-of-25 for 137 yards and a touchdown, while Bryce Young's brief first-drive cameo (5-of-6, 49 yards, 100.7 rating) included a gorgeous 17-yard connection with Tetairoa McMillan that kept the opening scoring drive alive. Kyle Trask even got in on the fun late, hitting Casey Washington for a touchdown to put the game away in the fourth quarter.On the ground, it was a true committee effort — Anthony Tyus III, Jonathon Brooks, A.J. Dillon, and Trevor Etienne combined for 97 yards, with Brooks punching in the game's first touchdown on his surgically repaired knee. Jimmy Horn Jr. added a highlight-reel 39-yard run out of the backfield. Through the air, John Metchie III (6 catches, 77 yards) continued to build a case for a real role in this offense, and Roc Taylor's 16-yard touchdown grab on 3rd-and-3 was one of the prettiest throw-and-catch combos of the preseason so far.Defensively, Chau Smith-Wade's interception and Cam Gill's fumble recovery were both backbreakers for Jacksonville, and Carolina turned both takeaways directly into points. The Panthers were nearly perfect where it counted — 2-for-2 on fourth down, 4-of-5 in the red zone — while the Jaguars settled for field goals from Cam Little (3-for-3) and struggled to find rhythm behind Carter Bradley before Joey Aguilar sparked things off the bench.In this video, we break down every scoring drive, the full stat line for both teams, the defensive standouts, the longest plays of the night, and what it all means for the Panthers' 53-man roster picture heading toward Week 1. Devin Lloyd sat out his emotional return trip to Jacksonville, and we'll get into why that matters too.Panthers improve to 2-1 in the preseason. Let's talk about it.
When talking about the Carolina Panthers' passing game, all eyes naturally go to Tetairoa McMillan and rising playmaker Jalen Coker. But focusing solely on the top of the depth chart misses the biggest transformation in Charlotte: the sheer depth, versatility, and tactical fit of this entire wide receiver room. In this video, we break down why Carolina's rotation under Dave Canales gives Bryce Young the ultimate tactical advantage this season:
Tensions boiled over at Carolina Panthers training camp as physical, full-pad 11-on-11 drills led to a massive mid-practice scuffle between the offense and defense. In this breakdown, we dive into the post-practice sideline leadership huddle between Bryce Young, Mike Jackson, Nick Scott, Dave Canales, and Ejiro Evero to restore discipline—plus all the key takeaways from practice and yesterday's press conferences!IN THIS VIDEO:

Dennis Cox & Chris Lea discuss the Carolina Panthers beating the Arizona Cardinals, 33-30, in the Hall of Fame Game, including how rookie QB Haynes King made a case to be the No. 2 QB behind Bryce Young over Kenny Pickett, and what players stood out among Ja'Seem Reed, John Metchie III, and Jimmy Horn Jr. Panthers Playbook is sponsored by Wake Orthopedics.
In this action-packed episode, we break down everything on the field from the Carolina Panthers' Fan Fest at Bank of America Stadium, where over 40,000 passionate fans gathered to get their first live look at the reigning NFC South champions. With training camp practice closed to the public this summer due to facility construction, Friday night under the lights carried an electrified game-day atmosphere. We take a deep dive into the offense, the defensive front, roster battles, and crucial injury news as head coach Dave Canales gears his squad up for the upcoming preseason opener.We kick off with the offense, where quarterback Bryce Young continued his strong summer by connecting with rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan on two of the night's biggest explosive plays. We analyze how their chemistry is developing down the field and what McMillan's presence means for this passing attack. We also examine backup QB Kenny Pickett's night, highlighting his clutch execution during the two-minute drill that ended with a standout seam pass to wideout Brycen Tremayne.With rookie receiver Chris Brazzell II unfortunately placed on injured reserve after suffering a season-ending knee injury, the door has swung wide open for depth receivers to prove their worth. We discuss strong performances from John Metchie III, Xavier Legette, Casey Washington, and Jimmy Horn Jr. as the competition for roster spots heats up.On the defensive side of the ball, all eyes were on the pass rush following the devastating ACL injury to second-year edge rusher Nic Scourton. We highlight how second-year defender Princely Umanmielen took full advantage of his first-team reps, repeatedly collapsing the pocket off the snap. We also detail the triumphant return of UFL standout Cam Gill, who brought relentless energy and generated multiple backfield pressures during scrimmage reps. Plus, we give props to kicker Ryan Fitzgerald, who brought calm and accuracy to special teams by drilling multiple field goals from beyond 50 yards out.Finally, we look ahead to Canton, Ohio, as Carolina prepares to face the Arizona Cardinals in the Hall of Fame Game. We preview what to expect from the preseason opener and reflect on what promises to be a legendary week for Panther Nation as franchise icon Luke Kuechly is officially inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2026. Whether you're tracking position battles or eager for regular-season football, this episode has all your Panthers coverage covered.
A year ago this was the biggest weakness on the roster. Now? Tetairoa McMillan just won Offensive Rookie of the Year with a 70-catch, 1,014-yard season and landed at No. 87 on the NFL Top 100. In this Keep Pounding Podcast camp preview, we break down all 13 receivers on the Panthers' 90-man roster — and the battles that will decide the depth chart.Jalen Coker went from UDFA to a three-year extension and the WR2 job. Xavier Legette is in a genuine prove-it camp after a 35-catch season, with third-round rookie Chris Brazzell II — a 4.37 speedster at 6-4 — coming straight for his role. We cover the John Metchie III reunion with Bryce Young, Jimmy Horn Jr.'s bubble fight, sleeper Malick Meiga making surprise 53-man projections, and the vets battling for the last spots.WHAT'S IN THIS VIDEO:T-Mac's OROY season and Year 2 ceilingCoker's extension and the WR2 roleLegette vs. Brazzell: the battle of campMetchie, Horn Jr., Meiga and the bubble scrumFull 53-man WR predictionsSubscribe to Two Growls One Roar for the rest of the 90-man series.

The "discipline over desire" era is officially underway at Bank of America Stadium! In today's episode, we're diving into the massive news from Tuesday's pressers that has Panthers Nation buzzing. First, the comeback we've all been waiting for: Jonathon Brooks is officially cleared! He reveals how his faith and a recent baptism have fueled his recovery from two ACL tears, and he's finally feeling "close to 100 percent." Plus, we look at the incredible bond between Brooks and Chuba Hubbard, who is not only mentoring the young star but also building a "Canadian Connection" with new playmaker John Metchie III. We also break down the veteran leadership of Taylor Moton, who enters his 10th season with a "what's next" mentality. Moton is already taking first-round pick Monroe Freeling under his wing to solidify the trenches for Bryce Young. Finally, the pressure is on for Xavier Legette. With the emergence of DROY Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker, plus the arrival of speedster Chris Brazzell II, we discuss whether Legette can survive the roster "bar" being raised or if his time in Carolina is running short.

The Eagles are sitting at 6-2 with a big lead in the division heading into their bye week. Sheil Kapadia is joined by Zach Berman of The Athletic to discuss the progress of the reigning Super Bowl champs.

Will the Eagles offense see more improvement after the bye week (30:07)? What about on defense? Could there be progress when some players come back from injury (35:50)?

He discusses why he's more concerned about Zack Wheeler the person rather than the player, but also why this is a brutal blow to the Phillies rotation. Then he puts a bow on the road trip, discusses the latest Underground Stats & Info, and explains why it's SUPER important to dominate this home stand. Then KB discusses #HowieSZN as the Eagles trade for John Metchie III and then wraps on the Philadelphia Union's loss to the New York Red Bulls for the first time in 17 games and Andre Blake getting injured being a huge blow to the game and moving forward.

In the second of three straight primetime games, the Houston Texans once again fell short, this time blowing a 23-7 halftime lead to drop a home game to the Detroit Lions on Sunday Night Football. The Texans' defense recorded five interceptions, and the offense was off to a productive start with touchdowns from Joe Mixon and John Metchie III in the first half; however, momentum stalled to start the third quarter as C.J. Stroud threw a pick on the first play of the second half. The Texans would be shut out the rest of the way, allowing the Lions to score 19 unanswered points capped by Jake Bates' 52-yard field goal as time expired to hand the Texans their third loss in four games. Matt Thomas and Ross Villarreal of "The Matt Thomas Show with Ross" recap Sunday's 26-23 defeat and discuss what can be done to fix an ailing offense ahead of a Monday Night Football matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.
