Bill Voth @PanthersBill · 1h Panthers have a short practice before heading to New England this afternoon. Just shells, so a break from full pads. Keith Taylor, who’s been out for a bit with a hamstring, appears to be back. Chad Graff @ChadGraff · 3h Bill Belichick on Panthers coach Matt Rhule: “He’s a football guy. So we have a lot in common there. We love football.”

before the draft I was watching a lot of Icky's highlights...there was one where pushed one guy down to the ground and started looking for someone else to block, no one near, he looked back quickly at the guy on the ground and a big good-natured laugh...I wanted him from that point on. He wasn't taunting or anything, it was just a "yes, that's how strong I am" or something like that. Can't believe we got him. He's a beast.

Bills spent a 6th rounder on a punter. Here he is.

Team stats 38 passing plays, 30 rushing attempts. 4 penalties ( off and def)...Washington had 6 no fumbles, no interceptions Time of possession...Wash 31:12, Panthers 28:48 (turnovers influenced this) Total Plays: Panthers 71, Wash 66 3rd down efficiency Panthers 11-18, Wash 8-14 (Wash also 2-2 on 4th down)

week 1 opponent Jordan @jasrifootball · 1h Breaking: #Browns starting C Nick Harris out for the season with a knee injury, per @AdamSchefter

Some of our defensive rookies did more than just flash. Barno made plays, and the LB out of Penn State we took in the 4th is a big hitter, broke up what looked like a sure completion. The main thing I felt best about was when Baker started the game, and led us to a FG. Darnold came in and pretty much Darnolded but got us a TD. I'm no X and O guy, but I can tell you how I felt watching. Baker looked like an NFL starter. He just looked right...comfortable, confidant. I lost that feeling as soon as Sam took over. I hate it for Sam, but Baker made me feel so much better leading the team. Haven't felt that comfortable in our O since the season Cam was still healthy.

nice catch by Higgins, and got out of bounds

don't mind PJ coming out when we are back up so much. Not a good place to put a rookie in his first game. If a disastor is gonna happen, let it happen to PJ. We another half to see Corral with better field position.

Barno pressure results in int. And Hayes was impressive on that pbu

damn Brandon!

good play call...TD!

Barno!!!

This is great news Augusta Stone @augustalstone · 21m Should see some quality snaps from CJ Henderson today, who had an absolutely excellent camp. Appears locked in during pregame drills. Definitely going to be watching the former top-10 pick today.

Carolina Blitz @KeepBlitzin · 50s The Commanders just played a video unveiling their new fight song. After the video ended the crowd was stoic. There was no applause and scattered boos.

I enjoy his announcing as much as the games themselves some nights...especially when the Hornets are "hotter than a pepper sprout" https://www.si.com/nba/hornets/news/best-eric-collins-quotes

TD just talked about Funchess on the halftime show...said he was proud of him, it was first catch since 2019

well look at that...Funchess with a td catch

London out for the game

Falcons and Lions on right now...Detroit marches right down the field and scores td.

not news, but this is pretty funny up in Buffalo

"For all the wrinkles the Panthers are working on in camp, it's still interesting to see punter Johnny Hekker working on fakes. That's a big part of the All-Decade team punter's game, as he's a career 14-of-23 passer for 186 yards, with a touchdown and an interception (82.9 passer rating)."

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter · 12m Saints’ QB Jameis Winston rolled his ankle today and is undergoing further evaluation.
