Panthers Backup Battle Preview | Carolina Panthers News

The Panthers’ preseason finale is set to be a showcase for backups, as starters sit out amid concerns over the offense’s recent struggles. After a promising touchdown drive against the Jaguars capped by Jonathon Brooks, the team’s final game against the Texans will spotlight depth—especially at wide receiver, where Jimmy Horn Jr., Ja’seem Reed, and John Metchie III are vying for roster spots. The offensive line, which held strong against Jacksonville but showed shaky moments in camp, faces a tougher test. And with the passing game feeling conservative, fans will watch closely to see if Kenny Pickett or Kyle Trask can ignite the offense with big plays—and give receivers their chance to shine.
