David Tepper Believes Bryce Young Can Still Win 'Multiple' Super Bowls For Panthers

Preparing to play Week 1 Waller said Monday that he's practicing as if he's going to play in Sunday's game against the Bears, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.
Impact Waller signed with Carolina less than a month ago and has slowly been working his way into game-ready shape. He ran with the first-team offense in practice last week and appears ready to go for the Week 1 opener. The Panthers have a host of quality tight ends, but Waller has the most fantasy appeal of the bunch as a weapon in the red zone and on third downs. He's likely a better best-ball pick than reliable weekly play in redraft fantasy formats.

Impact The veteran tight end has the potential to give Bryce Young the best pass-catching option at the position the 2023 first overall pick has had in his career, but Waller is still in the midst of learning head coach Dave Canales' offensive system. Canales had good things to say about Waller's progress Wednesday, saying he'd gotten in plenty of routes versus air and looked fast while doing so. Waller suited up for only nine regular-season games with the Dolphins in 2025 after a year in retirement, but he recorded 24 receptions for 283 yards and six touchdowns on 34 targets in that span.

Not expected to play in preseason finale Coach Dave Canales indicated that Waller is not expected to suit up for Friday's preseason finale against the Texans, Anthony Rizzuti of USA Today reports.
Impact Waller, who officially signed with the Panthers last Monday, didn't take part in the team's joint practice with the Jaguars on Wednesday and sat out Friday's ensuing preseason contest against the Jaguars. The tight end did see a couple of team reps in Monday's session, per Canales, but with the Panthers still easing Waller into the mix, it remains to be seen how much of a workload he'll see out of the gate this season.

Not suiting up for Friday's game Waller won't play in Friday's preseason contest at Jacksonville, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Impact Waller officially signed with the Panthers on Monday, at which time coach Dave Canales told Mike Kay of ESPN.com that the tight end wasn't likely to practice full at Wednesday's joint session with the Jaguars. Carolina thus is easing the 33-year-old into the mix with his new squad, but once Waller is up to speed he'll join Tommy Tremble, Mitchell Evans and Ja'Tavion Sanders as the players at the position available to QB Bryce Young.

Panthers look for new TE Darren Waller to provide a boost to passing game

When the Carolina Panthers reached out to Darren Waller to see if he would be interested in returning to the NFL he jumped at the opportunity
AUGUST 17 • Associated Press
Being eased into the mix Waller didn't practice Monday after officially signing with the Panthers, Mike Kaye of ESPN reports.
Impact It looks like the Panthers plan to ease the newcomer in, with coach Dave Canales noting Monday that Waller isn't likely to be full go in joint practices on Wednesday in Jacksonville, though it's possible the veteran tight end could log some individual work. Once he gets up to speed with his new team's offense, Waller has a chance to emerge as a viable pass-catching TE option for QB Bryce Young, a context that could land Waller (who recorded 24 catches for 283 yards and six touchdowns (on 34 targets) across nine regular-season appearances for the Dolphins in 2025) on the radar in deeper fantasy formats.
