Panthers hold out handful of starters from Wednesday’s practice

Panthers OLB Jadeveon Clowney was amongst the starters who did not participate in practice this afternoon.

The Carolina Panthers were a bit shorthanded to kick off Week 6.

Wednesday’s practice did not include a handful of the team’s starters. Tight end Tommy Tremble (concussion), right tackle Taylor Moton (elbow), outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney (shoulder) and inside linebacker Josey Jewell (hamstring/groin) were all listed as non-participants.

Also out, as expected, was center Austin Corbett—who tore his biceps in the Week 5 loss to the Chicago Bears. Corbett will be placed on the season-ending injured reserve.

Here is the full injury report from the afternoon:

Panthers HC Dave Canales provides injury updates following Week 5 loss to Bears

The Panthers are dealing with a handful of new injuries following their Week 5 defeat to the Bears.

The Carolina Panthers left the Windy City beaten in more ways than one on Sunday.

Head coach Dave Canales took the lectern this afternoon to provide some updates on his team following their 36-10 loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 5. The most notable bit concerned center Austin Corbett, whose 2024 season will now come to a close after he tore his biceps in the defeat.

“Again, just another blow,” Canales told reporters. “With a guy that just stands for everything that I believe in—the work ethic, the practice habits, the professionalism, his positive outlook in terms of what can be on the next drive, just continuing to work and control the things that he can control. So my heart is with Austin.”

Canales would then relay some relatively positive news on fellow offensive lineman Taylor Moton, who injured his triceps. Moton is considered “week-to-week” and is expected miss Carolina’s outing against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.

Week 6 would, in turn, mark the first missed game of Moton’s eight-year NFL career.

In addition, rookie wide receiver Xavier Legette and outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney are “day-to-day” with shoulder injuries while tight end Tommy Tremble is currently in concussion protocol.

Battle of ex-Notre Dame tight ends in Chicago turns out to be quiet

Two former Notre Dame tight ends faced off in Chicago Sunday.

Notre Dame fans who also follow the NFL may have taken an interest in Sunday’s game between the Carolina Panthers and the Chicago Bears at Chicago’s Soldier Field.

That’s because Bears tight end Cole Kmet was playing against ex-teammate Tommy Tremble, who is now a Panther. Both played tight end at Notre Dame and both saw action during the same season in 2019.

If Fighting Irish fans were hoping to see the two former teammates out-dueling one another, that didn’t happen. Tremble left the game with an apparent concussion after being targeted just twice. He caught one pass for 7 yards, and he fumbled the ball after that reception. It was the same play in which the concussion appeared to happen.

Kmet, meanwhile, was quiet early but eventually he was targeted four times, catching three of those passes for 57 yards, with a long of 26.

Even if the matchup was quiet, it’s a reminder of how many tight ends Notre Dame has sent to the NFL in recent years.

Panthers TE Tommy Tremble leaves game after taking frightening hit to head

Panthers TE Tommy Tremble has been evaluated for a concussion following a scary hit from Bears S Jaquan Brisker.

Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble left Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears after taking on a frightening hit from safety Jaquan Brisker.

The hit occurred with just under three minutes remaining in the first half, when Tremble reeled in what would be a 9-yard reception from quarterback Andy Dalton. That 9-yard reception would also be a fumble, one that was recovered by Bears defensive lineman Gervon Dexter.

Chicago proceeded to cash in on the turnover on a subsequent three-play, 44-yard drive to the end zone. Running back D’Andre Swift starred on the possession, as he chalked up a 42-yard catch-and-run and eventually punched in the rock on a 1-yard rush.

Tremble, who underwent evaluation for a concussion, was able to walk back to the locker room. His return to the contest is questionable.

Panthers Week 5 injury report: 3 players ruled out vs. Bears

The Panthers have ruled out three players ahead of Sunday’s visit to Chicago.

As expected, the Carolina Panthers have ruled out starting middle linebackers Shaq Thompson and Josey Jewell from their Week 5 matchup against the Chicago Bears. Thompson will miss the remainder of the campaign with a torn Achilles tendon while Jewell has been sidelined with hamstring and groin injuries.

2024 third-round pick and rookie ‘backer Trevin Wallace is in line to get his first career start in the middle of Carolina’s defense. Veterans Claudin Cherelus and Chandler Wooten, who was promoted to the active roster on Tuesday, should also help fill in for Thompson and Jewell.

In addition, head coach Dave Canales told reporters following today’s practice that all players who have been listed as questionable are likely to play.

Here’s the full injury report from Friday:

In a bit of positive news, leading pass catcher Diontae Johnson returned to practice after missing Wednesday’s outing. He was a limited participant.

Panthers Week 3 injury report: Starting DL Shy Tuttle doubtful vs. Raiders

The Panthers will likely be without another starting defensive lineman in Week 3.

The Carolina Panthers may have even more troubling defending the run.

Friday’s injury report for this weekend’s matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders lists starting nose tackle Shy Tuttle as doubtful. Tuttle missed the entire of week practice due to a foot injury.

If Tuttle is indeed out, the Panthers will be missing two of their three opening-day starters on the defensive line—as Pro Bowler Derrick Brown is already shut down for the remainder of the campaign due to a torn meniscus. Oh, and they could possibly be down all three, as A’Shawn Robinson has been deemed questionable with a knee issue.

Carolina is currently carrying three other defensive linemen on their active roster (Nick Thurman, LaBryan Ray and Jayden Peevy) and two on their practice squad (DeShawn Williams and T.J. Smith).

Here’s the team’s final injury report for Week 3:

Injury Wednesday Thursday Friday Game status
DL A’Shawn Robinson Knee DNP Limited Limited Questionable
DL Shy Tuttle Foot DNP DNP DNP Doubtful
OLB Jadeveon Clowney Rest DNP Full Full
TE Feleipe Franks Personal DNP Full Full
G Robert Hunt Shoulder Limited Full Full
G Damien Lewis Groin Limited Full Full
TE Tommy Tremble Hamstring/back Limited Limited Limited
OT Taylor Moton Rest DNP Full
CB Lonnie Johnson Thigh Limited Limited Questionable

Panthers DT Shy Tuttle remains out of practice on Thursday

A foot injury has kept DT Shy Tuttle out of practice for the second consecutive day.

The Carolina Panthers probably won’t have another one of their opening-day starting defensive linemen in Week 3.

Nose tackle Shy Tuttle remained out of practice on Thursday due to a foot injury. The 28-year-old defender, who is in his second season with the Panthers, was also a non-participant for yesterday’s session.

Line mate A’Shawn Robinson, however, did return to the practice field after also sitting Wednesday out. Robinson (knee) was listed as a limited participant.

Carolina is already without Pro Bowl defensive lineman Derrick Brown, who will miss the remainder of the season due to a torn meniscus.

Here is the full injury report from the afternoon:

Injury Wednesday Thursday Friday Game status
DL A’Shawn Robinson Knee DNP Limited
DL Shy Tuttle Foot DNP DNP
OLB Jadeveon Clowney Rest DNP Full

Panthers hold out 3 defensive starters from Wednesday’s practice

Panthers starting defensive linemen A’Shawn Robinson and Shy Tuttle were out of practice on Wednesday due to injuries.

Taking away Pro Bowler Derrick Brown for the rest of the season seemingly may not be enough for the injury bug—as it’s now come for the rest of the Carolina Panthers’ starting defensive line.

A’Shawn Robinson (knee) and Shy Tuttle (foot) both missed Wednesday’s practice, the first ahead of the team’s Week 3 visit to see the Las Vegas Raiders. Outside of Brown, Robinson and Tuttle, the Panthers are currently carrying three other defensive linemen on their active roster (Nick Thurman, LaBryan Ray and Jayden Peevy) and two on their practice squad (DeShawn Williams and T.J. Smith).

Starting outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney was also held out. But, as was the case last Wednesday, the 11th-year veteran was just taking a rest day.

Here’s the full injury report from the session:

Injury Wednesday Thursday Friday Game status
DL A’Shawn Robinson Knee DNP
DL Shy Tuttle Foot DNP
OLB Jadeveon Clowney Rest DNP
TE Feleipe Franks Personal DNP
G Robert Hunt Shoulder Limited

Panthers Week 2 inactives: 6 players ruled out vs. Chargers

All of Friday’s questionable Panthers will be in uniform for the home opener.

The questionables are questionable no more.

Friday’s injury report ahead of the Week 2 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers featured five players the Carolina Panthers deemed as questionable. But, as expected, all five will be in uniform this afternoon.

Included in the bunch is starting tight end Tommy Tremble, who is on track to make his 2024 debut today. Rookie and fourth-round pick Ja’Tavion Sanders got the start in last week’s regular-season opener in place of Tremble, who has been dealing with hamstring and back issues.

Along with Tremble, the Panthers will also have running back and return specialist Raheem Blackshear (personal), left guard Damien Lewis (groin), outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney (ankle) and punter Johnny Hekker (back).

Here, however, are the six inactives for Carolina:

  • RB Mike Boone
  • TE Messiah Swinson
  • G Jarrett Kingston
  • C Andrew Raym
  • CB Shemar Bartholomew
  • CB Chau Smith-Wade

And for Los Angeles . . .

  • QB Taylor Heinicke
  • RB Kimani Vidal
  • WR Brenden Rice
  • OL Jordan McFadden
  • DL Justin Eboigbe
  • CB Tarheeb Still
  • S Alohi Gilman
