No longer with a blue check, but still covering the Panthers for The Athletic, sampling craft beers and watching a lot of HS football and baseball games.

Taylor Moton, the Panthers’ “stalwart” OT, returns from June health scare with a new perspective. They need him.
“You start coughing up blood, you start thinking the worst. But thank God I’m still on this side of earth.”

Golden went from an estimated DNP yesterday to an estimated limited participant today. That's a good sign for tomorrow night.
Panthers rule out three starters for Thursday night's game at Green Bay: OLB Jaelan Phillips, LG Damien Lewis and CB Akayleb Evans.
Also out: OL Torricelli Simpkins
Questionable: DL Bobby Brown
Brad Idzik's dad helped run a workout for Michael Penix's dad with Tampa Bay in 1996. Cool note from Greg.
Michael Penix's father, Michael Sr., played RB at Pasco High in Dade City, later at Tennessee Tech. Once got a workout with the Bucs in 1996 but never signed. tampabay.com/archive/1996/06…
Panthers injury report:
DNP: Jaelan Phillips (hamstring), Damien Lewis (knee), Akayleb Evans (triceps, knee), Torricelli Simpkins (ankle).
Limited: Bobby Brown (hand)
This is happening tonight. See y’all at 7.

Dave Canales has been reluctant to make changes at cornerback since the injuries to Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson. But Akayleb Evans’ triceps issue during a short week may leave the Panthers coach no choice.

The Panthers have a lot to clean up after Sunday’s dumpster fire — pass protection, run D, cornerback play — and little time to do it.
Happy Short Week. Free link:

Dave Canales said Taylor Moton's ankle surgery is to repair torn ligaments in his ankle using the TightRope implant system.
Canales: CB Akayleb Evans is day-to-day with a triceps issue.
"We do have options" if Evans can't play, Canales said. Declined to specify who would start.
Dave Canales: Panthers right tackle Taylor Moton will undergo season-ending ankle surgery. Also has a broken fibula, which won't need surgery.
"We're all hurt for T-Mo but we know what he represents."
Panthers’ first injury report had five players who did not practice, including 4 starters - Akayleb Evans, Jaelan Phillips, Damien Lewis and Bobby Brown.
Panthers placed OT Taylor Moton (fractured fibula) on IR; promoted OLB Nick Hampton from the practice squad to the 53.
Also added LB Ja'Markis Weston the p. squad.
