The Carolina Panthers held their first practice of the 2020 season today, going through a walk-through at Bank of America Stadium.
In related news, Carolina also released the jersey numbers for some of their new players.
CB Eli Apple: No. 41
The Panthers’ newest cornerback will be wearing No. 41, most recently used by former slot corner Captain Munnerlyn, who is a free agent after playing last season with the Bills. Apple is projected to start outside opposite Donte Jackson, but his spot is far from certain given his struggles in 2019.
LB Adarius Taylor: No. 47
This is Taylor’s second go-round in Carolina. He played 10 games for the Panthers in 2014, mostly on special teams. Taylor wore No. 57 that year and last season with the Browns. He’ll be No. 47 going forward.
P Joseph Charlton: No. 3
With Michael Palardy going on reserve for the year, South Carolina’s Joseph Charlton will be taking over at punter. Second-year quarterback Will Grier has switched to No. 7 for this season, opening up No. 3 for Charlton.
LB Kyahva Tezino: No. 46
Tezino was picked up off waivers from the Patriots last week. He’ll be competing with several other undrafted rookies for what could be the last linebacker spot on the roster.
The team also shared a short video on Twitter, showing a few clips of today’s practice.
