The Carolina Panthers’ very first injury report of the 2024 regular season didn’t bring us any surprises.
As expected, tight ends Tommy Tremble (hamstring/back) and Ian Thomas (calf) were held out from Wednesday’s practice ahead of this weekend’s opener against the New Orleans Saints. Both were listed as starters on yesterday’s unofficial depth chart.
Tremble and Thomas are backed in the pecking order by 2024 fourth-round pick Ja’Tavion Sanders and 32-year-old veteran Jordan Matthews, who was promoted to the active roster shortly after this summer’s initial cutdowns. Carolina, additionally, officially signed rookie Messiah Swinson off the Green Bay Packers’ practice squad to provide insurance at the position.
Running back Miles Sanders (finger) and offensive tackle Yosh Nijman (tibia) were also included on today’s injury report. They were designated as limited participants.
