LB Kamu Grugier-Hill down after the last play.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 8, 2023
Walks off the field under his own power. Got caught under a pile.
Update: Panthers guard Chandler Zavala is still being treated at a local hospital. He is alert and has movement in all extremities.

Eddy Piñeiro makes a 33-yd FG just before halftime.

And a quick answer for the Lions, and they're up 28-7.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 8, 2023
The Panthers had little margin of error, and have turned it over three times in the first half.
Young's second interception of the day on first down.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 8, 2023
Quick turnovers are killers for the defense.
Detroit turned both of its takeaways into TDs and now lead the Panthers by 14.

DET 21, CAR 7 | 3:50 2Q
Miles Sanders immediately fumbled and it's recovered by Detroit's Will Harris.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 8, 2023
Two turnovers already for the Panthers.
Miles Sanders fumbled on first down. Lions recover.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 8, 2023
The Panthers just stopped the Lions on fourth down, with Troy Hill breaking up the pass intended for David Montgomery.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 8, 2023
Hill looked like a luxury veteran add when he signed in August. Has quickly become a necessity.

Panthers LG Chandler Zavala taken to area hospital after neck injury. https://t.co/EdCxVZ5YXt
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 8, 2023
Chandler Zavala (neck) is being taken to a local hospital for evaluation.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 8, 2023
That was a thumbs up from Zavala. Cade Mays in at RG. The game moves on.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 8, 2023
Chandler Zavala carted off the field, they had him on a board.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 8, 2023
He gave thumbs up as the cart moves. Thank goodness.
Chandler Zavala down and it does not look good at all. Benches have cleared and much of the team is taking a knee.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 8, 2023
Really, really, really, really, really hope he is OK.
Chandler Zavala down injured on the play. Place gets really quiet.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 8, 2023
Lions take advantage of the short field with another quick touchdown. Up 14-0 with 4:53 left in the first quarter.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 8, 2023
And an interception. Not ideal.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 8, 2023
Bryce was looking for Ian Thomas short, found Aidan Hutchinson.
Three chunk plays for the Lions result in a touchdown.

DET 7, CAR 0 | 9:41 1Q
Lions dealing early. Your basic three-play touchdown drive.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 8, 2023
Panthers lined up on offense with fourth-and-4, delay of game. Johnny Hekker lines up to punt, false start on Chandler Wooten.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 8, 2023
But the punt travels far, and Detroit's offense will have to start at the 18.
Catch stands. Detroit charged with a timeout.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 8, 2023
So the offense continues at midfield and that good conversion holds up. https://t.co/szlBXLkAnq
Lions are challenging that Chark catch.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 8, 2023
Regardless your partisan leanings, never a bad time to hear Chaka Khan and Rufus' "Tell Me Something Good."
Ruling stands.
Got pretty loud at Ford Field before a Panthers third-and-long, Bryce Young to DJ Chark connection appears to convert on third down, but the Lions are challenging.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 8, 2023
Pretty big decision here, will determine if Carolina gets to keep building on early momentum.
Bryce with a strike to DJ Chark on third-and-12. Nice conversion in a loud place. Protection good so far.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 8, 2023
Rookie WR Jonathan Mingo, back from concussion protocol, catches Bryce Young's first throw of the day.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 8, 2023
Panthers win the toss, elect to receive.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 8, 2023
So we'll see Bryce Young and the offense first here at Detroit.

Nine months ago today, Panthers RG Austin Corbett tore his ACL in the regular season finale at New Orleans.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 8, 2023
He returned to practice this week, and could be back on the field after the bye.
More on the latest (big) step in his comeback.https://t.co/4DmCc1CsXG

White jerseys, black britches today, as modeled by JJ Jansen.

Jansen will break the franchise record by appearing in his 231st game today, breaking the old record of 230 previously held by JJ Jansen. pic.twitter.com/MG3Ls2XTG3
I have just the loveliest view of today’s game between the Panthers and Lions (and @alexzietlow05 diligently at work!)

D'Shawn Jamison expected to start for Donte Jackson today, across from CJ Henderson (who is starting for Jaycee Horn).
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 8, 2023
Helps that the Lions are without Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jahmyr Gibbs, but the Panthers are piecing together a secondary (Xavier Woods still out as well).
Donte Jackson out for today's game.https://t.co/qyj4p2p3xz
