Another day, another practice for the Carolina Panthers without their top two tight ends.
As was the case on Wednesday, the team held out both Tommy Tremble (hamstring/back) and Ian Thomas (calf) from this afternoon’s session. So the statuses of Tremble and Thomas, who are currently listed as the offense’s starters at the tight end position, remain rather uncertain heading into Sunday’s regular-season opener against the New Orleans Saints.
The two are again joined on the injury report by running back Miles Sanders (finger) and offensive tackle Yosh Nijman (tibia). Sanders was bumped up from a limited outing yesterday to a full one on Thursday.
Carolina also added veteran cornerback Troy Hill (heel) to the bill.
