Black and Blue Review
- QB Cam Newton — A few read-option plays again; still hasn’t taken off full bore.
- WR Brenton Bersin — Has been quiet lately, not in-danger-of-not-making-the-roster-quiet, but not at involved as he had been.
- WR Tiquan Underwood — During a team drill with the ones, made catch on first play, had a drop on the second.
- WR Kelvin Benjamin — Dominant day; rinse, repeat.
- WR Philly Brown — Picked up where he left off after sitting out Sunday with a tight hamstring.
- CB Josh Thomas — Yapped a good bit at Marcus Lucas during WR/CB one-on-ones. Rookie handled it well.
- CB Josh Norman — Also spent some of the day talking, but backed up his talk with another solid practice that included an interception during 7-on-7s.
- RB Jonathan Stewart — First practice in pads since week of playoff game.
- CB Bené Benwikere — During one play in coverage, blanketed Benjamin, forcing Newton to look at another option.
- S Anderson Russell — Played a decent amount with the ones. Has had a good camp, but his size may hold him back from a roster spot.
- RB Darrin Reaves — Tried to fight through knee injury he suffered Friday night; ended up under tent with ice on knee; will be held out a few days.
- S Roman Harper — Remains out with toe injury; did some work on the side after practice.
- T David Foucault — Quebec native broke down team huddle in French, of course; has likely impressed enough to be stashed somewhere.
- T Garry Williams — Replaced Byron Bell at LT for final team drills.
- T Byron Bell — Sat out last part of practice with patella tendinitis; appears to be closer to locking up LT job.
- T Nate Chandler — Returned to RT after resting knee Sunday.
- WR Jerricho Cotchery — Slow to get up after catching deep touchdown pass against CB Antoine Cason; seemed like he had wind knocked out of him.
- TE Ed Dickson — After drill against TE Brandon Williams exclaimed, “Man, he got that death grip!”
- TE Mike McNeill — Head coach Ron Rivera said his knee injury is “a pretty decent sprain.”
- DE Frank Alexander — Still playing with the ones with DE Charles Johnson still out; coaches continue to rave about Alexander’s camp.
- DE Kony Ealy — Spent day on stationary bike; did not have protective boot on sore left foot.
- DE Charles Johnson — Did a bunch of work on the side; could be close to returning from hamstring injury.
- DE Mario Addison — Along with G Derek Dennis, missed practice with flu currently going around.
