Why he came to Carolina? “Coach Frank. It’s simple.”

Reich says Damiere Byrd's hamstring is "pretty significant."

More than a month, 6-8 weeks. Says could require a procedure.

Frank Reich says he thought Tuesday was one of the "better" training camp practices in all three phases (offense, defense, special teams), says everyone was sharp.

Frank Reich says he sees veteran OLB Justin Houston as a rotational player, that it's not likely he'll be out there for 60+ plays a game.

Panthers HC Frank Reich on adding Justin Houston to the OLB roster: That group has been really good in camp, feel like the development of that group has been "outstanding," to add Houston is a "big deal."

We’re practicing with @DWDanielHigh today 🏈

Stopped to check in on them! pic.twitter.com/n92NFUpZoX

Panthers hit pause to watch Daniel High practice.

I think it’s written in the bylaws that Johnny Hekker has to spend his entire day with a No. 44. They’ll probably be eating together later. pic.twitter.com/PCsKOJCbqc

Chandler Wooten still wearing 50. Something tells me that might not be a permanent condition. Tune in later for jersey number updates. pic.twitter.com/jfcFicNHt1

Unified practice with Daniel High School (Central, S.C.) today at Panthers training camp.

One of my favorite days of camp. So many cool memories for these prep athletes! pic.twitter.com/gyUHlMgvlP

LB Frankie Luvu getting his vet day.

Wouldn’t expect to see Justin Houston out here this morning. That transaction hasn’t gone into the system yet.

LB Kamu Grugier-Hill goofing around before practice, long snapping. He’s actually pretty good at it.

Embodies “the more you can do.” Giving off major Zylstra vibes. I bet he can kick too.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 8, 2023

OLB Jordan Thomas not practicing today. Has a split on his thumb. WR Damiere Byrd (hamstring) still out also.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 8, 2023

This young man is a day early. If he stays there for 24 hours, he’ll be in prime position. pic.twitter.com/7V5mFJxWOC
