The team signed a pair of defensive tackles and a cornerback after a workout Friday, adding depth on defense.

The Panthers new middle linebacker sat down this week with the soon-to-be Hall of Famer. Their impromptu film session lasted over 90 minutes, and could have easily gone longer.

The veteran outside linebacker spent eight months rehabbing from back surgery, making the first day of training camp an emotional moment. Now, he's using that experience to help Nic Scourton on his journey.

The offensive rookie of the year spent a lot of time around quarterback Bryce Young this offseason, allowing him to come into camp with more confidence.

The team claimed former Michigan tackle Ryan Hayes off waivers from the Titans, the second tackle of the day they've added.

The rookie corner closed out the day with a well-timed and well-played interception, earning him the play of the day title from Dave Canales.

The sales experience center will give Panthers and Charlotte FC fans a real-life look into what Bank of America Stadium will look like after renovations are complete.

The defense was 3-0 in live two-minute drill segments to close practice, the day after Nic Scourton was lost to a torn ACL. Plus more from Friday's practice, including injury updates.

The NFL commissioner was on hand Thursday night to celebrate the Carolina Panthers, Charlotte FC, and Tepper Sports & Entertainment growing their reach in Charlotte and beyond.

Appearing alongside Roger Goodell, the Panthers owner said he has seen significant growth from the football team after last year's NFC South title.
