The Hall of Fame linebacker and Panthers legend went from calling a game in Australia on Thursday night, to back in Bank of America Stadium by Sunday morning. All it took was a plan, and lots of coffee.

A Top 10 draft pick and an undrafted receiver have come together for a balanced approach on the field, in turn creating a complex offense for Panthers' opponents.

The team activated outside linebacker Jeremiah Moon and safety and special teamer Isaiah Simmons from the practice squad to provide depth for Sunday's trip to Atlanta to face the Falcons in Week 2.

Fans can watch the game on Fox and listen live on the radio in the Panthers regional area.

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.
