PJ Walker in to finish this one out, Panthers down 37-15.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 9, 2022
Jaycee Horn's back on the sidelines, but he doesn't have a helmet and there's no indication he's coming back in.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 9, 2022
For a defense already without Frankie Luvu, Xavier Woods, and Jeremy Chinn, that's nothing they needed to see.
Panthers get to the 49ers' 16-yd line, and Eddy Piñeiro kicks a field goal 4th & 3. He makes from 34 yds out. The drive goes 59 yds in 12 plays, takes 5:40 off the clock.

And there's a BIG completion from Baker Mayfield to Shi Smith, a 31-yd pass to San Francisco's 17.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 9, 2022
Raheem Blackshear with *another* huge kickoff return, this one 48 yds to the 50.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 9, 2022
Panthers have definitely found an answer on kickoff returns, at least here in the second half today.
Garappolo to Deebo for the touchdown.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 9, 2022
Juston Burris trailing the play, though without knowing the call, hard to gauge responsibility.
49ers go up 24-9 with 6:32 left in the third.
49ers fourth-down attempt initially ruled incomplete.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 9, 2022
But CJ Henderson called for pass interference.
Nick Bosa (groin), out for the rest of the game.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 9, 2022
Panthers' O starts the second half with good field position thanks to Blackshear's long kickoff return, pushes downfield off an 18-yd Mayfield-Moore connection, and gets a TD on 4th & 1 off a 19-yd CMC run.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 9, 2022
They go for a 2-pt conversion, don't get it.
SF 17, CAR 9 | 11:57 3Q
Panthers go for two, McCaffrey stopped short.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 9, 2022
He took that handoff from PJ Walker though.
That's the 50th scrimmage TD for Christian McCaffrey, tying Muhsin Muhammad for 5th in franchise history
— Will Bryan (@Pantherstatsguy) October 9, 2022
Raheem Blackshear starts the second half with a 45-yard kickoff return, Mayfield hits DJ Moore for a 19-yard gain, they're moving.

Raheem Blackshear takes the kickoff 45 yards to midfield. Good start to the second half.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 9, 2022
Shi Smith was in the medical tent just before the half. Leaves under his own power.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 9, 2022
A 17-3 halftime deficit, in which the Panthers have gained 133 yards and are 1-of-7 on third downs.
Half: SF 17, CAR 3
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 9, 2022
49ers got off to a fast start, scoring on their first drive, and came up with a pick 6 just before halftime.
Carolina has 133 total yards, is 1-of-7 on third down, and has rushed the ball 12 times for 39 yards.
Panthers backed up by a penalty, and then Mayfield throws a pick-6.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 9, 2022
On a day when the defense is playing as well as it is, a 17-3 halftime deficit is cruel.
Panthers block another field goal.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 9, 2022
Looked like Derrick Brown on the tip.
SF's Deebo Samuel hadn't recorded a yard today until 3:21 remained in the second quarter.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 9, 2022
He'd been targeted three times with no catches, but just took a 9-yard rush on first down.
49ers have 1st & 10 at the Panthers' 30-yd line at the 2 minute warning.
Panthers now 1-of-6 on third-down conversions.

Jeremy Chinn out there right now getting in a light workout with the rest of the injured players. Panthers hopeful his hamstring will be on the lower side of a 4-6 week hamstring strain, but hamstrings are finicky.
