How to watch, listen and follow: Carolina vs. Atlanta in Week 3

Panthers head coach Dave Canales offered some quick updates Friday after practice and the injury report, which included outside linebacker Patrick Jones II

The veteran outside linebacker and the defensive tackle missed practice for the third straight day, and won't be available for Sunday's game against the Falcons. Xavier Legette is listed as questionable.

Getting special teamers to go into the nunaces of onside kicks reveals the multiple possibilities that exist on every play, including having guys who can kick with both feet. And then there's luck.

The Panthers' rookie outside linebacker has been taking extra snaps this week while Patrick Jones II rests a hamstring injury. Could it mean an increased role on Sunday? Scourton is preparing as if so. 

Despite a slow start, the second-year receiver doesn't seem particularly worried. And neither do the people around him, because they've seen the way he's worked all offseason.

Defensive tackle Bobby Brown III and safety Tre'von Moehrig were held out on Thursday, while Tershawn Wharton and Patrick Jones II missed their second straight day.

From the run defense taking steps forward to how special teams welcomes new additions, here are three takeaways from the Panthers' offensive coordinators ahead of Week 3. 

The Panthers cornerbacks are coming off of a season in which they put up big numbers. They spent all offseason pushing each other to come back even better. Through two weeks, it seems to be paying off. 

The former backups are known commodities to their teammates, and the chemistry they've clearly built is something the Panthers hope to rely on the rest of the season.

You might be surprised to know the Panthers quarterback's not big on looking back at last year, even though last year's Falcons game was his best. Plus more from Wednesday.

The veteran outside linebacker and defensive lineman did not participate in Wednesday's practice, as the Panthers began their preparations for the Falcons.
