Fit Check Friday: Week 6 vs. Dallas

Two starters on offense are listed as questionable for Sunday, providing an exciting possibility for the Panthers should they return. Plus, Dave Canales on running "violently" and the balance of facing familiar players.

The Panthers game will air on FOX at 1 p.m. ET.

The Panthers will be without their starting running back and right tackle this weekend, along with defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton and cornerback Akayleb Evans.

Ahead of the newest Blueprint episode on the rookie class, catch up with the Panthers' rookies to see how they're adapting to the NFL, who they believe won the rookie talent show, and more.  

The Panthers' mantra has been embraced by the defense this season. Now the offense is adopting it as well, to protect the ball against a Cowboys' defensed bracketed by stingy defensive backs. 

Starting tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders was a full participant, but they were still without Chuba Hubbard, Taylor Moton, and two others on Thursday.

The Panthers coordinators offered insight on Xavier Legette's impact, covering tight ends, and what makes a good returner, ahead of the Panthers' Week 6 matchup with the Dallas Cowboys.

After limited production through four games, the Panthers' rush units challenged themselves to be better. The result was their best game of the season in the win against the Dolphins. 

Bryce Young likes the way coaches solicit input from players on preferred play, and more on Jalen Coker's first practice, and the fringe benefits of being at home two weeks in a row.

The Panthers got a couple of key contributors back on the field, but running back Chuba Hubbard remained out with a calf injury.

The running back was tapped as the offensive player of the week after a 200-plus yard performance in Sunday's win, which put his name in the Panthers record books.
