INSTANT REACTION: Panthers-Jaguars Joint Practice SPARKS Concerns Over Bryce Young, O-Line STATUS

Carolina Panthers shake up expectations during joint practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars as Bryce Young and Tetairoa McMillan connect on highlight plays, but questions linger about the offensive line’s consistency. Can Young and his top targets maintain momentum if Panthers’ protection issues persist? Alex Zietlow of the Charlotte Observer joins Julian Council to break down firsthand observations, including Chandler Zavala’s surprising snaps at center, Rob Hunt and Damien Lewis’s limited involvement, and the O-line’s struggles against Josh Hines-Allen.

Defensive concerns mount as the Panthers allow five straight red zone touchdowns, exposing ongoing issues with tight end coverage. Zietlow offers insight into roster battles at tight end and wide receiver, with Darren Waller, JT Sanders, and Jimmy Horn Jr. making strong cases for the final 53. With starters set to play in Friday’s preseason game, all eyes are on Dave Canales’s strategy—will sharper preseason performances finally translate into a fast start in September?
