Carolina Panthers News

Devin Lloyd - Makes 13 tackles Lloyd finished with 13 tackles (nine solo) in Sunday's 59-37 loss to the Bears.

Impact The Panthers' defense did not have a good day, but Lloyd was at least active in his first game with his new team. The former Jaguar signed a three-year, $42-million contract with Carolina in the offseason after recording 81 tackles (35 solo), seven pass breakups, including five interceptions, and a fumble recovery in the regular season last year.

NFL Week 1 All-Stars: Josh Allen Or Caleb Williams At QB? Which RBs Make The Team?

Ryan Fitzgerald - Misses PAT in loss Fitzgerald made four of his five PATs and converted his sole field-goal attempt in Sunday's 59-37 loss to the Bears.

Impact Fitzgerald's 44-yard field goal was his only challenge of the night, and the kicker was up to it. Where the 26-year-old shrunk was in his consistency, with an 80 percent PAT conversion rate that pales in comparison to opposing kicker Cairo Santos' flawless night, despite being asked to kick eight PATs.

Xavier Legette - Quiet outing Week 1 Legette failed to haul in either of his targets and returned two kickoffs for 51 yards during Carolina's loss to the Bears on Sunday.

Impact Legette had a quiet outing despite playing 36 of the team's 68 snaps. The 2024 first-round pick will look to be more involved offensively during next week's game against the Falcons but will most likely continue to see the majority of his production come on special teams unless either Tetairoa McMillan or Jalen Coker is forced to miss time.

AJ Dillon - Gets garbage-time work in loss Dillon handled five carries for 28 yards during Sunday's 59-37 loss versus the Bears.

Impact All of Dillon's touches came during Carolina's last drive of the game, when Chicago was leading by 22 points with less than four minutes remaining and more than content to let the Panthers run out the clock. Chuba Hubbard and 2024 second-rounder Jonathon Brooks should still probably be considered as being ahead of Dillon in line for carries going into Week 2.

Mitchell Evans - Limited offensive output in Week 1 Evans caught one of two targets for nine yards in Sunday's 59-37 loss to the Bears.

Impact Evans was on the field for 27 of the team's 68 offensive snaps while operating as the team's primary reserve option at tight end behind Tommy Tremble. Evans also logged 17 snaps with the special-teams unit, and he will continue to have limited offensive upside in Week 2 against the Falcons.

Tommy Tremble - Three catches in loss Tremble caught three of his five targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 59-37 loss to the Bears.

Impact Tremble played 34 offensive snaps, which ended up being just under 56 percent of the Panthers' total offensive plays. The tight end also contributed 11 special teams snaps in the losing effort, showing some versatility in what was overall a productive offensive day for the Panthers.

Impact Dodson joined the Panthers' practice squad Sept. 1 after being let go by the Dolphins two days prior. The seventh-year pro is now on the Panthers' 53-man roster and will provide interior depth at linebacker behind starters Devin Lloyd and Bobby Okereke. Dodson logged a career-high 129 tackles (72 solo), including 5.0 sacks, across 16 regular-season games with the Dolphins last year, adding three pass defenses (including one interception), one forced fumble and a fumble recovery.
