Tommy Tremble - Page 3 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Catches three passes vs. Cardinals Tremble caught all three of his targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Cardinals.

Impact Tremble played as the Panthers' No. 2 tight end for the second consecutive week, logging 35 offensive snaps compared to Ja'Tavion Sanders' 56 on Sunday. Sanders also played his best game as a pro, catching seven of nine targets for 54 yards, so it appears likely that Tremble will remain Carolina's top reserve tight end as the season progresses. Still, the Notre Dame product was relatively productive despite playing a limited role in Week 2 and will look to build on that effort in Week 3 against the Falcons.

Likely backing up Sanders Tremble caught his only target for two yards in Sunday's 26-10 loss to the Jaguars.

Impact Tremble was dealing with a back injury prior to the Panthers' Week 1 loss and played just 29 offensive snaps -- 10 fewer than second-year tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders. Sanders also outpaced him in targets (three to one) and receptions (two to one), making it seem as if Tremble will serve as Carolina's No. 2 tight end this season. Game script likely played a role in Sanders increased playing time, as Carolina's large deficit in the fourth quarter favored Sanders' pass-catching skillset. Unless Carolina's defense improves in a Week 2 matchup against the Cardinals, Tremble figures to serve as the top backup.

Bryce Young's pivotal Year 3: Panthers QB aims to lead with renewed confidence

SEPTEMBER 4, 2025 • Associated Press

Cleared for Week 1 Tremble (back) isn't listed on the injury report for Sunday's season opener at Jacksonville.

Impact The Panther activated Tremble from the PUP list on Aug. 21, giving him two and a half weeks to ramp up for Week 1. He's ready, and may even be a nominal starter, but Ja'Tavion Sanders figures to run more routes and get more playing time in passing situations.

Officially off PUP list The Panthers activated Tremble (back) from the active/PUP list Thursday.

Impact Tremble won't play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Steelers, but he's passed his physical and will be eligible to return to practice immediately. Head coach Dave Canales said Tuesday that Tremble remains on track for Week 1 but that the tight end will need to "get some more physical contact and get that adaptation part, before we can fully clear him," so it sounds like he'll be limited at practice for the time being. Tremble projects as Carolina's official No. 1 tight end but figures to do most of his damage as a blocker, while Ja'Tavion Sanders and rookie fifth-round pick Mitchell Evans offer more pass-catching upside at tight end.

Impact Tremble is still progressing through his recovery from back surgery undergone in May, which has caused him to miss the entirety of training camp and the preseason to date. Once back in action Tremble may start at TE for Carolina, but he's expected to largely contribute on offense as a blocker. Second-year pro Ja'Tavion Sanders, who has handled expanded first-team reps with Tremble sidelined, projects as the Panthers' top pass-catching tight end.

AUGUST 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Progressing well in recovery Tremble (back) ran routes on the side during training camp Friday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Tremble underwent back surgery in May and opened camp on the active/PUP list. The fifth-year wideout has been increasing his workload and "appears to be trending in a good direction," per Newton. It remains unclear, however, if Tremble will be ready to play in time for Week 1 of the regular season.

AUGUST 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Should return in 3-4 weeks Panthers coach Dave Canales said Wednesday that Tremble (back) won't practice soon but could be ready in three or four weeks, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Tremble is on the Physically Unable to Perform list for the start of training camp, and it sounds like he may remain there until mid-August or so, which puts his Week 1 availability into question. He had a procedure on his back in May, two months after re-signing with the Panthers on a two-year contract. Tremble is mostly known for his blocking, with 85 career catches in 61 games, while 2024 fourth-round pick Ja'Tavion Sanders is the favorite to be Carolina's top pass-catching TE.

Opens camp on active/PUP The Panthers placed Tremble (back) on the active/PUP list Monday.

Impact Tremble underwent a back procedure in May and will continue to rehab as training camp opens. He's expected to be ready ahead of Week 1. With Tremble idle to begin camp, second-year TE Ja'Tavion Sanders and fifth-round rookie Mitchell Evans will benefit from extra reps. While Tremble is expected to play a substantial role on offense this season, he's mainly used as a blocker. Sanders has late-round fantasy appeal as a catch-first, playmaking tight end.

Impact Tremble underwent surgery to address a back issue mid-May and while it was initially reported that he was on track for the start of training camp, it sounds like the veteran tight end's recovery will stretch until late August. That opens the door for second-year pro Ja'Tavion Sanders and rookie fifth-rounder Mitchell Evans to compete for expanded first-team reps, and potentially even expanded regular-season roles if they can impress in those opportunities. Tremble is the best blocker of Carolina's tight end corps, which will assure him a significant role on offense once fully healthy.

Expected back for training camp Coach Dave Canales revealed Tuesday that Tremble underwent a successful procedure on his back last week, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Impact While the report didn't detail the back issue addressed by the tight end's recent surgery, Canales indicated that Tremble is expected to be ready for training camp. Once the 2021 third-rounder returns to the field, he'll reclaim his role in a TE corps that returns Ja'Tavion Sanders and now includes 2025 fifth-rounder Mitchell Evans. In 12 contests last season, Tremble recorded 23 catches (on 32 targets) for 234 yards and two touchdowns, while Sanders put up a 33/342/1 receiving line in 16 games.
