Week 1: Aug. 8 at New England L Drake Maye makes QB debut as Bill Belichick-less Patriots beat Panthers 17-3
Drake maye, the third overall pick in the 2024 draft, played one series in his debut with New England on Thursday night, and the Patriots played their first game in 24 years without Bill Belichick as coach...Panthers quarterback Bryce Young, the top pick of the 2023 draft, didn’t play.
Week 2: Aug 17 vs. New York Jets L Codrington's big return and SSeibert's 4 field goals help Jets defeat Panthers 15-12
Carolina running back Dillon Johnson scored on a short run on the final play for the game's only touchdown after the Panthers focused on the running game despite being down by nine....Punt returner Brandon Codrington from tiny North Carolina Central returned a kickoff 63 yards and a punt 31 yards to set up scores.
Week 3: Aug 24 @ Buffalo W Bryce Young oversees opening-drive TD in brief preseason debut, and Panthers beat Bills 31-26
Bryce Young made Panthers coach Dave Canales’ decision easy in determining how long he was going to keep the Panthers' starting offense on the field in their preseason finale at Buffalo on Saturday.. Young finished 6 of 8 for 70 yards....The Bills rested all of their starters to avoid risking further injury to an already limping team. Darrynton Evans scored Buffalo’s first touchdown of the preseason with an 18-yard catch, Frank Gore Jr. had 101 yards rushing including a 5-yard touchdown run.
Gamble was the team's first-round pick in 2004, where he joined a team fresh off a Super Bowl appearance and contributed to an already good defense. Although that rookie year got off to a rocky start (a 1-7 record to open the year after star receiver Steve Smith broke his leg in the opener), they quickly bounced back and went on another playoff run to the NFC Championship Game the following season. Gamble was part of Ohio State's 2002 national championship team, which went 14-0 (so he was unaccustomed to such a streak as he experienced in 2004) and was a versatile contributor there, starting on both offense and defense during his time with the Buckeyes and shining as a returner. He was even better here, and finished his career here as the team's all-time leader in interceptions with 27.
QB Bryce Young leads Panthers to victory, Week 10 status uncertain
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young spoke with unusual confidence for a player on the verge of NFL history for futility when he entered the huddle with 3:26 remaining on Sunday at Bank of America Stadium. But as solid as Young played in helping Carolina (2-7) win its first home game in 322 days, coach Dave Canales wasn't willing to commit to the top pick of the 2023 draft remaining his starter over Andy Dalton for Sunday's game against the New York Giants in Munich, Germany. The win kept Young, 3-17 for his career and 1-3 this season, from becoming the third quarterback since starts were first tracked in 1950 to lose 18 of his first 20 starts. He avoided joining San Francisco's Steve DeBerg (1978-79) and Carolina's Chris Weinke (2001-2007). Young's final stat line -- 16-of-26 for 171 yards with a touchdown and an interception -- wasn't overly impressive. Dalton was healthy enough to play Sunday, but Canales stuck with Young even though he has consistently said the 37-year-old Dalton gave the Panthers the best chance to win.
Sources: Cowboys trade 4th-rounder for Panthers WR Jonathan Mingo
The Dallas Cowboys acquired wide receiver Jordan Mingo and a 2025 seventh-round pick from the Carolina Panthers for a 2025 fourth-round pick, sources told ESPN on Tuesday. Mingo, a second-round pick in 2023 out of Mississippi, has 12 receptions for 121 yards this season. He has one catch in the past four games and has only two games in his career with more than four catches. In Carolina, Mingo was behind 2024 first-round pick Xavier Legette, undrafted rookie Jalen Coker and 2017 seventh-round pick David Moore, despite the hamstring injury sustained by Adam Thielen and the trade of Diontae Johnson. Getting a fourth-round pick for Mingo after sending the Baltimore Ravens a 2025 sixth-round pick and Johnson to Baltimore for a 2025 fifth-rounder last week had to feel like a win for Carolina general manager Dan Morgan, who is trying to rebuild the 2-7 Panthers who appear headed for a seventh straight losing season.
