Panthers add another CB

The Panthers have had some adjusting to do at the cornerback position of late. Eight-year veteran Rashaan Melvin retired, Jaycee Horn was placed on and activated from the physically unable to perform list and Duke Dawson joined the group.

Now, with Keith Taylor Jr. sidelined for a few weeks due to a hamstring strain, they’ve signed another corner—Devin Jones. Jones, who was apart of the team’s rookie minicamp roster, is a Mooresville, N.C. native who spent four seasons at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke.

Ben McAdoo’s offense is still downloading

Offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo doesn’t have the simplest plan to learn. (Just ask wideout DJ Moore.)

But head coach Matt Rhule said they’re about 75 percent of the way through installing McAdoo’s offense, which will eventually allow the team to ramp up their quarterback competition.

“We’re still sort of in that install phase,” Rhule said when asked if he plans on mixing up the reps. “So to me, like, when they’re coming in in the morning and getting like 70 plays from Ben, it’s just sometimes a little cleaner to do it the way we’re doing it. So tomorrow, we’ll mix both guys. The plan this week was we have three days in a row and we’ll give the guys a day—you could practice, we’ll walk through that day kinda like we’ve done in the past couple years. So tomorrow, we’ll mix the quarterbacks a little bit more.”

CJ Henderson is experiencing his growth

Henderson, who recently said he feels like he’s started his career over, has been an early standout in Spartanburg. On Tuesday, he told Joseph Person of The Athletic that he still has a lot of room to improve.

“Oh, most definitely,” he said about scratching the surface of his potential. “I feel like I’m still young. A lot of football to play. Still haven’t played corner for a while, so I’m still learning. Still growing—as a man, as a football player as well.”
