  Panthers vs Lions Preview: No Horn, No Jackson, No Problem?

  Oct 1, 202626 min

  For the first time since 2016, the Carolina Panthers are on Sunday Night Football, and they're hosting one of the most dangerous offenses in the league. The Detroit Lions (2-1) come to Bank of America Stadium on Sunday, October 4 at 8:20 PM ET on NBC, and the timing couldn't be worse for Carolina's secondary. In this Week 4 game preview, we break down everything you need to know before kickoff. Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson both went down in the 21-18 loss in Cleveland, and both are now on injured reserve with a rough eight-week timeline. That leaves rookie Will Lee III, Akayleb Evans and Chau Smith-Wade holding down the corner spots against Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams and Sam LaPorta. The Lions have scored exactly 31 points in every game this season. On the other side, Bryce Young leads the NFL's top passing offense at nearly 300 yards per game. He threw for 361 yards against Chicago and three more touchdowns in the 34-3 beatdown of Atlanta. The catch: Carolina's offensive line has allowed more pressure than anyone in football, and Detroit's pass rush already has 12 sacks. With Damien Lewis out and Monroe Freeling in the concussion protocol, protection is the storyline nobody wants to talk about but everybody needs to. Then there's Jahmyr Gibbs. Six touchdowns in three games, 463 scrimmage yards, and a habit of turning one missed tackle into six points. If the Panthers can't keep him in check, Detroit never has to force anything against the backup corners. We cover: The cornerback crisis and what it means for Carolina's pass defense Bryce Young's primetime moment and the pass protection problem How to slow down Jahmyr Gibbs The three matchups that decide this game The full Panthers injury report Players to watch on both sides Four keys to a Panthers win Our final score prediction Vegas has Detroit as a 3.5-point favorite with the total at 50.5. Is this a trap game for the Lions, or does the injury report finally catch up with Carolina? Drop your score prediction in the comments. We read every one. Two Growls One Roar is fan-first Carolina Panthers coverage, plus the Charlotte Hornets and South Carolina Gamecocks. We're honest when it's good, honest when it hurts, and we cope together either way.

  Panthers Injury Update: Damien Lewis Out, Jaycee Horn Hurt, Who Starts vs. Lions?

  Sep 30, 202619 min

  The Carolina Panthers are 1-2 and banged up heading into Sunday Night Football against the Detroit Lions, and Two Growls One Roar breaks down everything that moved at Panthers HQ this week. Two days after a 21-18 loss in Cleveland, the injury news came fast. Starting left guard Damien Lewis has a UCL injury in his elbow and is expected to miss a few weeks, including the Lions game. He's getting a second opinion, and the Week 5 bye could keep his absence to one game. Pro Bowl cornerback Jaycee Horn suffered what Dave Canales called a significant quad injury and will miss time, with a clearer timeline expected after more tests. Cornerback Mike Jackson's status is still unknown, and Jalen Coker also left Sunday's game. So who steps in? We project Corey Bullock at left guard, since he replaced Lewis in Cleveland and is the listed interior backup, with newly promoted Torricelli Simpkins III behind him. At corner, Will Lee III is Horn's listed backup and our projected starter. If Mike Jackson can't go, Chau Smith-Wade starts on the other side, and Canales hinted at possible practice squad call-ups in the secondary. We also go through Tuesday's transactions. The Panthers signed Simpkins, a Charlotte native, from the practice squad and waived linebacker Maema Njongmeta, who forced a fumble in Cleveland. Cam Gill returns to the practice squad for his third stint in about three months, Isaia Glass is back, and guard Chandler Zavala was released. That comes a day after veteran guard Saahdiq Charles rejoined the practice squad, which means three guard moves in 48 hours. On the positive side, Bryce Young is expected to play despite taking a cleat to the lower body in Cleveland. He finished that game with 291 yards and a touchdown and leads the NFL in passing yards through three weeks. Devin Lloyd, the NFC Defensive Player of the Week after his two-interception game in Atlanta, says he's ready to return from his calf injury. Nick Scott's rib injury looks playable, and Xavier Legette is day-to-day with a knee issue. We walk through the full Week 4 depth chart position by position, including special teams, and flag who to watch on Wednesday's injury report. Then it's the Roar Mailbag. We answer your questions on: Who covers Detroit with the secondary this beat up Whether it's time to panic about the offensive line How hurt Bryce Young really is Why Tetairoa McMillan was quiet against the Browns, and how the tight ends stepped up Whether a 1-2 start means the season is slipping The under-the-radar player to watch Sunday night Subscribe and hit the bell so you don't miss a breakdown.

  Panthers Lose Jaycee Horn AND the Game | Good, Bad & Ugly vs Browns

  Sep 29, 202620 min

  The Carolina Panthers had Cleveland beat. Twice. Up 12-10 in the fourth, then up 18-13 with 4:25 to go after Bryce Young found John Metchie III for the only touchdown of the day. Then Deshaun Watson went 65 yards in eight plays, a roughing-the-passer flag on Bobby Okereke wiped out a game-sealing interception, and the Browns walked off with a 21-18 win. On today's Two Growls One Roar Monday breakdown, we go through the Good, the Bad and the Ugly from Week 3 in Cleveland, and it's a heavy one. THE GOOD: Ryan Fitzgerald went 4-for-4, including a 53-yarder, and was basically the whole offense. Special teams forced the game's only turnover on the second-half kickoff. The defense held Watson to 144 passing yards for most of the afternoon without Devin Lloyd or Nick Scott. Brycen Tremayne finally got his moment with 4 catches for 83 yards. Bryce Young took a beating and never came off the field. THE BAD: Mason Graham and Jared Verse lived in our backfield. Cleveland blitzed, played man, and dared Carolina to beat them deep, and every defense in the league was watching. Tetairoa McMillan was held to 2 catches for 17 yards and still doesn't have a touchdown this season. Two failed fourth-down tries gave Cleveland 10 points. Four field goals before the first touchdown won't beat anybody. THE UGLY: Jaycee Horn is out indefinitely with a significant quad injury, and reports say it's torn. Mike Jackson left in the first quarter with a groin injury. By the end, our cornerbacks were rookie Will Lee III, Akayleb Evans and Chau Smith-Wade. Add Jalen Coker's quad, Damien Lewis, and Bryce's leg, and it was a brutal afternoon. We also run through today's news from Dave Canales' Monday press conference. Bryce is getting imaging but is expected to play, Devin Lloyd looks set to return, Nick Scott is "playable," Legette is day-to-day, and Saahdiq Charles is back on the practice squad. Then it's the big question: who does Dan Morgan call? We rank the realistic cornerback options, including Tre'Davious White, Marshon Lattimore, Mike Hilton, Adoree' Jackson, Shaq Griffin and Jeff Okudah. We also look at trade chatter around Kristian Fulton and Deonte Banks, plus the practice squad guys who could be elevated. We compare the original Week 1 depth chart to what Carolina will actually take to Detroit. The good news: the Saints lost too, so the NFC South is a three-way tie at 1-2. Next up is the Lions on Sunday Night Football, with a rookie corner on an island in primetime.

  Panthers Out-Gain Browns by 101 Yards and STILL Lose | 4 FGs, 0-for-3 on 4th Down, 1-2 Start

  Sep 27, 20261 hour

  We had this one. With 4:25 left in Cleveland, the Carolina Panthers led 18-13 and had about an 83% chance to win. Less than two minutes later, Akayleb Evans picked off Deshaun Watson in the end zone to seal it… until a roughing-the-passer flag on Bobby Okereke wiped it out. Three plays later, Harold Fannin Jr. scored his second touchdown, Watson hit Denzel Boston for two, and the Browns walked off 21-18 winners. Carolina falls to 1-2. The worst part? The Panthers won almost every stat that usually decides games. They out-gained Cleveland 360 to 259, won first downs 24 to 17, and Ryan Fitzgerald went a perfect 4-for-4 on field goals, including a 53-yarder. None of it mattered, because the game came down to the margins, exactly like Dave Canales said. In this Two Growls One Roar postgame breakdown, we cover: The win probability cliff: from 83% to zero in the final four minutes Red zone failures: four deep drives, one touchdown 0-for-3 on fourth down, including the 4th-and-1 at our own 40 that handed Cleveland a touchdown The failed two-point try that changed the math late The Okereke roughing call, and Jaelan Phillips wondering if Watson sold it Bryce Young under a 51% pressure rate, with Mason Graham and Jared Verse living in the backfield A tale of two halves: Chuba Hubbard at 1.8 yards per carry in the first half and 7.1 in the second Tight ends carrying the passing game while Tetairoa McMillan was held to 2 catches A defense that deserved better: zero Browns first downs in the third quarter Maema Njongmeta's forced fumble on the re-kick We also go through the full injury picture. That includes the new injuries to Jaycee Horn (quad), Mike Jackson (groin), and Jalen Coker (quad), plus Bryce playing through a lower-body issue. Then there's everyone already on the shelf: Devin Lloyd, Claudin Cherelus, Nick Scott, Xavier Legette, Jonathon Brooks, Ikem Ekwonu, and Taylor Moton. The cornerback room could be in real trouble heading into next week. Up next is the Detroit Lions on Sunday Night Football, October 4 at Bank of America Stadium. It's Carolina's first SNF game since 2016 and the last game before the Week 5 bye. Jahmyr Gibbs just dropped three touchdowns on the Jets, but the Lions have already blown two big leads at home this season. We break down what Carolina has to fix to get to 2-2 heading into the bye. Were we robbed, or did the Panthers beat themselves? Drop your take in the comments.
