Week-3: Fri, Aug 27: vs Pittsburgh W

Carolina Panthers rule RB Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) out Sunday vs. Minnesota Vikings
McCaffrey missed 13 games with three different injuries last season after the Panthers made him the highest-paid back in the league with a four-year, $64 million extension.
Can Panthers' Sam Darnold, Robby Anderson recreate chemistry found with Jets
Anderson lack of involvement is one of the biggest mysteries of the season. His catch rate of 41.4% is a significant drop-off from his 68.5% last season, when he finished with a career-best 95 catches on 136 targets for 1,096 yards and three touchdowns.

Carolina Panthers place RB Christian McCaffrey on injured reserve
The medical staff met Saturday and determined this was the best option for a full recovery for McCaffrey, who tried to go full speed this week and just couldn't do so without feeling the injury.

Carolina Panthers News
Pro Bowl cornerback Stephon Gilmore is eligible to return from the physically unable to perform list this week and practice with the Panthers. GM Scott Fitterer was optimistic that would happen on schedule when he traded for Gilmore two weeks ago. Whether Gilmore will be in football shape to be ready for Sunday's game against the New York Giants remains uncertain. But I'd expect to see him practicing this week.
The Panthers with Sunday's 34-28 overtime loss to the Vikings became the first team since the 2019 Rams and Cowboys to lose three straight after a 3-0 start. That Sam Darnold was subpar with the exception of a tying 94-yard touchdown drive and the defense gave up 571 yards has to be concerning.
Matt Rhule made a huge error attempting a field goal on 4th-and-goal from the 5-yard line with 4:44 left against the Vikings, according to ESPN's win probability model. Panthers win probability if they went for it: 9.5% Panthers win probability if they attempted FG: 5.9% They needed just a 22% chance of conversion to justify going for it. Expected conversion rate for an average team was 41.5%.
Panthers trail at halftime for the first time this season, 12-10 to Minnesota. That it's this close is the biggest surprise. They have three dropped passes and have run only 32 plays. Quarterback Sam Darnold has completed only 5 of 18 attempts for 60 yards with one interception for a rating of 17.8. Stay tuned.

Carolina Panthers not pursuing Deshaun Watson deal ahead of trade deadline, source confirm
The league source would not go into detail on why the Panthers won't go after Watson, a decision first reported by NFL Network. The Panthers pursued Watson earlier this year before the lawsuits and before they traded with the New York Jets for Darnold. But a great deal of social media response to a potential pursuit of the quarterback has been negative. It was only four years ago that former team owner Jerry Richardson was fined $2.75 million by the NFL after its investigation into alleged workplace misconduct, including sexual harassment and the use of a racial slur with a team scout. The Dolphins have been considered the strongest contender for Watson. The Texans' price for the quarterback has been at least three first-round draft picks and possibly other players.

Carolina Panthers News
Panthers offensive coordinator Joe Brady said the critical thing for his unit isn't running more as much as staying ahead of the chains. "Whether it's a pass or run, staying in a down and distance that you can follow a good run with a run,'' he said. Brady added he and head coach Matt Rhule are on the same page as far as wanting to run more and stay on the field.
Panthers QB Sam Darnold on what the past few days have been like for him since being benched on Sunday: "Obviously, for me personally it's just one of those things I have to … I think I told you guys this after the game, I have to take it in and handle it however I handle it. That's pretty much the end of all of that. I'm not going to go into detail with how I handle it.''
Four straight losses, the benching of quarterback Sam Darnold, a defense that can't stop an undermanned Giants team. What else could go wrong for the Panthers, now 3-4? The 3-0 start that seemed real doesn't seem so real anymore.
You can't put the entire first half woes on Panthers QB Sam Darnold. There were three drops. But his interception in the red zone and intentional grounding from the end zone that resulted in a safety has Carolina in a bind heading into the third quarter trailing 5-3. The third quarter, by the way, has been a nightmare for the Panthers this season.
