Snap Counts

Take a look at the snap counts and playtime percentage for the Panthers in Week 3 of the regular season against the Browns.

• Bryce Young deserves credit for playing every snap, even though he was obviously bothered by something in the lower-body area. When he went into the blue tent, Kenny Pickett started warming up, but Young took the ball back from him and went back in. It was the first time this year Pickett didn't play a snap.
• Tetairoa McMillan is normally an 80 percent of the snaps guy, but that was higher this week by necessity. He played all but four snaps of the entire game. Likewise, special teamer Brycen Tremayne had to play 81 percent of the snaps (basically Jalen Coker's allotment), which cut into his special teams action.
• AJ Dillon got 16 percent of the snaps at running back to Chuba Hubbard's 84 percent, as they leaned into their captain and veteran leader.
• Darren Waller's snaps are also gradually increasing as he gets his legs underneath him. He played over half the snaps for the first time this year (he was at 35 and 44 percent the first two games).

• As with offense, injuries shaped this week's snap counts. With Mike Jackson going out early, rookie CB Will Lee III played all but six of the 70 defensive snaps. Zakee Wheatley also played 71 percent of the snaps, quickly stepping into a trusted role.

• The OLB rotation normalized a bit, though Jaelan Phillips played most of the game (86 percent), with Patrick Jones II playing a closer-to-regular 60 percent in his first game back. That allowed Princely Umanmielen (37 percent) and Trevis Gipson (33 percent) to play the rotational roles they're better suited to.

• The defensive line rotation is basically Derrick Brown and everybody else, as the Pro Bowler played 53 snaps (76 percent), and the other four active linemen played 31, 30, 17, and 16.

• Since this was a close game and didn't turn into a clear-the-decks situation like the first two weeks, a lot of the special teams regulars only played in the kicking game. That included Isaiah Simmons, Jackson Kuwatch, Maema Njongmeta (who replaced the IR'd Claudin Cherelus), and Feleipe Franks. Njongmeta picked it right back up, with two special teams tackles and a forced fumble.
• Running back Anthony Tyus III made his NFL debut and had two kickoff returns for 47 yards and 14 total snaps, as he was involved in other ways.
