The Carolina Panthers might have two of their starters back for the beginning of the 2025 campaign. After a fiery finish to training camp on Tuesday, head coach Dave Canales was asked about the statuses of tight end Tommy Tremble and left guard Damien Lewis. He started with Tremble, who is on track to suit for up Week 1 of the regular season.

Here we'll try to look at and discuss the Carolina Panthers' biggest reason to panic after start of 2025 NFL Preseason.

Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales is evaluating his team after a 20-3 preseason loss to the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium. ESPN insider David Newton is questioning Canales' decision to sit the starters after very limited action against the Texans.

For the second straight summer, the Panthers' weak preseason results have put the team's approach in question.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Andy Dalton injured his right elbow on Saturday and did not return in the team's preseason game against the Houston Texans. After the game, coach Dave Cannales said it appears to be a right elbow sprain and he will be evaluated tomorrow.

Saturday's preseason matchup between the Carolina Panthers and the Houston Texans was a thumpin, as former President George W. Bush might have put it. Carolina's starting offense was supposed to go at least three series against Houston's vaunted defense, but they performed so poorly that head coach Dave Canales yanked them after just six plays.

The Panthers provided a very encouraging update on rookie OLB Nic Scourton, who suffered a collapsed lung in Houston last week.
