Q: We did see some changes for the Panthers on offense. Some trades and injuries affecting the wide receiver corps. How comfortable is Bryce Young with his wide receiver corps heading into this week?*
A: We're going to find out quickly. This is now the youngest receiver core in the NFL after they traded 35-year-old Adam Thielen last week. It was a surprise to a lot of us that it had happened so quickly. They were relying on Jalen Coker, a second-year undrafted receiver, to fill that slot role. The day after Carolina traded Thielen, Coker got injured. He's out at least four weeks. They brought back Hunter Renfrow, a former Pro Bowler who sat out last year with ulcerative colitis – a really serious illness. He wasn't sure he'd come back and play football, but said he only wanted to do it if it could be with the Panthers. He's from the Carolinas. He got cut Tuesday. Thielen was traded Wednesday. Coker was injured Thursday. Renfrow was back Saturday, and he will start this Sunday in the slot for Carolina. The Panthers are very confident in their young receivers. As you mentioned, draft one in the first round this year, Tetairoa McMillan. Drafted one in the first-round last year in Xavier Legette. They really like their second-year tight end out of Texas, JT Sanders, in terms of catching the football. So, I'm sure they wouldn't have liked the last week to go the way it did, but I still think they are confident in those guys. We'll see when Bryce gets comfortable with them.
