From bringing down Bijan Robinson to the key in Bryce Young's streak against the Falcons, here are five things to watch as Carolina travels to Atlanta to open division play.

The Panthers know they're without Bobby Brown, and Pat Jones will be a game-time decision, so the Panthers are going to get a different look up front against the Falcons. Plus more on Atlanta's QB call.

The Panthers are going with the traditional white-on-white this weekend, with the black socks for the quick trip to Atlanta.

The Panthers defensive tackle didn't practice Friday for the third straight day, and won't play Sunday against the Falcons, leaving them young up front alongside Derrick Brown.

Carolina came out of Week 1 knowing the run defense would have to be addressed. It's a quick turnaround though, with one of the league's most dangerous backs, who's getting the ball more than ever.

The new linebacker was signed as an undrafted rookie by the Bills, when Morgan was in the Buffalo front office. So deciding to come here on the practice squad for a week, and take this promotion rather than other offers, was natural for him.

The Panthers were without the veteran defensive tackle again on Thursday, while outside linebacker Pat Jones practiced on a limited basis again on Thursday.

The team signed former Clemson and Indiana wide receiver EJ Williams to the practice squad on Thursday.

Plus, Tracy Smith explains "banana ball" punts and Ejiro Evero shares the responsibility on coaches after a loss.

The classic 2024 touchdown to Tommy Tremble remains an epic play and a better reaction. But good luck getting Young to talk about it this week -- there's another game to play. Others are happy to oblige, because they're still seeing and hearing it.
