Live Updates: Carolina vs. Baltimore in Preseason Week 2

Aug 21, 2021 at 08:23 PM

Pretty much same story as last week, just with the backup QBs flipped. First-half QB looked pretty good, so did Terrace Marshall and Chuba Hubbard, Panthers struggled to score TDs, early defense was active, but D still struggling to get off field on third down.

Rapid Reactions: The Ravens win again, as they do. Will Grier was sharp, Sam Darnold safely played, and that’s about the extent of the good news. https://t.co/BK5ieIbdh0

The Panthers have 18 yards in the second half.

That’s not enough yards.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 22, 2021

The Ravens scored again. This looks like their 19th straight preseason win, which is the most ridiculous stat in the history of stats.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 22, 2021

PJ Walker is now 0-of-6 passing for 0 yards.

Three drives, three three-and-outs, 7 net yards.

Game on, Will Grier.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 22, 2021

Davyion Nixon can move for a big guy. We’ve heard and somewhat seen that, but that was evidence right there.
— Bill Voth (@PanthersBill) August 22, 2021

Frankie Luvu is now among players with their pads off. 3 tackles, plus a FF, QB hit and PBU tonight.
— Bill Voth (@PanthersBill) August 22, 2021

The Panthers have featured Metallica, Led Zeppelin, Greta Van Fleet, and Judas Priest between game action on the stadium PA.

In other news, I have now been put in charge of the jukebox in addition to my duties for the website.

Kenny Robinson won’t return with a knee injury.

Robinson grabbed the back of his right leg. Slowly walking off now. https://t.co/mpKTrmFhTz

And PJ Walker’s in at quarterback.

Let’s see if he answers Will Grier’s solid night.

Christian McCaffrey was largely uniformed in the first half, and wore a baseball cap.

At halftime, he ditched all pretense, and is now wearing gym shorts, his jersey and a bucket hat, and looks like a camp counselor at the YMCA.

Keith Taylor, who’s impressed many folks so far as a rookie, is down.
— Bill Voth (@PanthersBill) August 22, 2021

Joey Slye hits a 41-yarder and the Panthers lead 3-0.

The highlight so far has been Will Grier, 11-of-13 for 144 yards passing.

The right side of that Panthers second OL has looked good so far.

As for the left side? The right side of that Panthers second OL has looked good so far.

Joey Slye misses from 37 yards, and that’s not going to be popular.

Will Grier quickly on the field. That’ll do, Sam.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 21, 2021

Chuba Hubbard stopped on fourth-and-goal at the 1.

Had TE Colin Thompson in the backfield as a FB.

They could probably use one of those at some point.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 21, 2021

That one doesn't officially count, but Reddick didn't have an interception in his first four seasons at Arizona.
— Will Bryan (@Pantherstatsguy) August 21, 2021

HELLO DEFENSE 💪

Haason Reddick with the PICK!

Robby Anderson was a true game-time decision, and catches the first pass from Sam Darnold, #asexpected.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 21, 2021

Tipped at the line … picked by Haason Reddick. Entire defense run to end zone to celebrate.

Of the Panthers’ 5 INTs during Thursday’s practice vs BAL, at least two were deflected passes.

Robby Anderson and DJ Moore getting in some pregame work. Wouldn’t imagine either play tonight considering they’ve suffered slight tweaks the past week-plus (Anderson - hamstring, Moore - back). pic.twitter.com/4sQZyp8JPf

The last time that Carolina played a home preseason game was on 8/29/19, a 25-19 win over Pittsburgh.

Will Grier threw for 189 yards and a TD in that game.

FILE - In this Sept. 28, 2014, file photo, Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Steve Smith (89) pulls in a touchdown pass under pressure form Carolina Panthers cornerback Melvin White (23) during the first half of an NFL football game in Baltimore. Fate simply wasn't ready to give the New Orleans Saints a break from long-time nemesis Steve Smith. The former Carolina Panthers receiver not only left the NFC South Division, but went to another conference when he chose to join the Baltimore Ravens in free agency last offseason. The Ravens and Saints meet just once every four years, and one such meeting happens to be on Monday night, Nov. 24, 2014, when New Orleans (4-6) needs a victory to stem a two-game skid and maximize its chances to win its divisional race.
