Training camp live practice updates: July 31

The team made a number of moves prior to Back Together Saturday, adding some depth at positions of need on both sides of the ball.

The Panthers turned over a lot of personnel this offseason, which means they're still learning what they'll look like on defense this year. But the changes might not stop with the people involved.

Bryce Young has a new offense, under a new staff, but he's also learning new receivers, like Diontae Johnson. It's a chemistry that will take a while to build, thanks to the unique way Johnson moves. 

The team signed former Buccaneers receiver and return man Deven Thompkins on Thursday, adding another player with familiarity with Dave Canales and his offensive staff.

Dave Canales liked being able to put his team in a more stressful situation on the second day of camp, with a little weather rolling in. Plus, the highlights from Thursday, and other news and notes.

The Panthers rookie head coach said he talked to Hall of Famer Tony Dungy 

The rookie wide receiver felt his first training camp practice could have gone much better. But as coaches and teammates praised the rookie, it proved Legette's motivation will pay dividends. 

The first training camp practice back home at Bank of America Stadium Wednesday had its share of moments, aside from the simple fact that it was here and not someplace else.

Tuesday seemed like a normal day for Panthers quarterback Bryce Young. But those in the building know, it's a return from a promising offseason and what he hopes is the start of something exciting. 

Cornerback Chau Smith-Wade and wide receiver Jalen Coker were activated Tuesday afternoon, in advance of the first day of practice on Wednesday.

Morgan said the team was focusing on adding competition at a number of spots as they head into a historic training camp at home. Plus more from Tuesday as players reported.
