“His mom is from Nicaragua. His dad is from Cuba. And this kid is kicking in the NFL. Why can’t I?” #Panthers kicker Eddy Piñeiro slept in a car the night before his life changed forever. He's now set on paving a path for kids like him. In @theobserver: charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/car…
#Panthers OLB Nic Scourton is officially appointment viewership. We talked about dogs and (massive) cats and museums and how Charlotte has “juice.” But he also talked some football. Here’s what he said about dropping weight and gaining it back — he’s now at 265, he said.

#Panthers training camp practice is here. And yes, we'll cover every Bryce Young throw in painstaking detail ... but there's more to look out for. Herer are 14 storylines to watch this training camp that don't include the third-year QB, in @theobserver: charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/car…
WAKE UP! It's Day 1 of #Panthers training camp, and Processing Blue has you covered with a brand-new episode! - Breaking down the Josey Jewell situation: How big of a loss is it? - An interview with an underdog: TE James Mitchell - And much more! charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/car…
Pretty big news. The #Panthers released starting linebacker Josey Jewell as he recovers from a concussion he suffered late last season. The quick story, but will have more soon, in @theobserver: charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/car…
Bryce Young is the headline. But @alexzietlow05 has 14 other storylines to watch as the Carolina Panthers kick off training camp | Charlotte Observer charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/car…
The #Panthers announce they’ve waived undrafted rookie QB Ethan Garbers out of UCLA. QB depth chart: Bryce Young, Andy Dalton, Jack Plummer. The move makes room to sign CB Tre Swilling, adding some depth defensive backfield. Swilling, 26, has played in 3 NFL games.
A development many #Panthers fans will find interesting.
The #Saints are working to sign free agent safety Julian Blackmon as a Honey Badger replacement, per sources. Nothing done but sides have been in talks. With Tyrann Mathieu retiring, Blackmon is one of the best safeties still available.

Robert Hunt gets chills when he considers how the #Panthers could surprise some people this year.
