Carolina Panthers overwhelmed in joint practice as the Houston Texans' defensive front—featuring Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson Jr.—dominates and exposes rookie Monroe Freeling. Bryce Young faces relentless pressure, multiple sacks, and rare offensive highlights, raising questions about the Panthers’ O-line readiness heading into the preseason finale. Can Carolina’s offense regroup before the regular season, or will protection struggles linger?
Julian Council breaks down the Panthers’ joint practice performance, assesses wide receiver battles among Ja'seem Reed, Jimmy Horn Jr., John Metchie, and Bryce Tremayne, and evaluates the defense’s mixed reviews against C.J. Stroud. Key topics include special teams shakeups, injury updates on Devin Lloyd, and the latest trade rumors about J.T. Sanders. Get expert insight on who’s primed to make the 53-man roster—and who might be on the bubble—as the Panthers prepare to close out preseason against the Texans.
