Panthers announce 3 roster moves ahead of training camp
(This story was updated to add new information.) The Carolina Panthers will begin training camp without a few key names. As announced on Monday afternoon, the team has placed two players on the active/physically unable to perform list—including starting tight end Tommy Tremble. The 25-year-old, who is entering his fifth NFL campaign, underwent back surgery in May and is expected to start his rehabilitation work during camp. Tremble returned to the Panthers on a two-year deal this offseason. He recorded career-highs in receptions (32), receiving yards (234), yards per reception (10.2) and first downs (12) in 2024. Joining Tremble is wide receiver Dan Chisena, whose injury was not disclosed in the team's announcement. Chisena appeared in six games for the Panthers this past season, with the majority of his snaps coming on special teams. Carolina also placed punter Sam Martin on the active/non-football injury list. According to Joe Person of The Athletic, Martin is dealing with a hamstring injury and is not expected to be sidelined for long. Tremble, Chisena and Martin can be activated at any time during camp. Update (4:45 p.m. ET): Per Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer, Chisena has a calf injury and is not expected to miss much article originally appeared on Panthers Wire: Panthers training camp: Carolina announces 3 roster moves on Monday

Panthers have 3 players attending Greg Olsen's Tight End University this week
A few Carolina Panthers are about to study under the game's very best. The fifth installment of Tight End University, an annual training summit for the NFL's tight ends, kicked off in Nashville, Tenn. this week. This year's class was announced during the weekend, and includes Carolina's Tommy Tremble, Dominique Dafney and 2025 draft pick Mitchell Evans. With Tremble on the road to recovery from a recent back surgery, the 22-year-old Evans may factor into Carolina's plans at the position earlier than expected. But so far, the returns are pretty good on the fifth-round selection. "What carries over from the film is, a really versatile guy," head coach Dave Canales said of Evans during rookie minicamp in May. "Whether it was the individual drills, going through blocking with Pat [McPherson], the footwork stuff. And then just being a reliable target. He's a really smooth mover in his routes, plays compact at the top. So—I think just all those things—we just felt like a really well-rounded, clean football player, and certainly fits in to what we do." Tight End University was founded by Panthers great Greg Olsen, as well as Kansas City's Travis Kelce and San Francisco's George Kittle, in 2021. The program aims to bring tight ends together for a week of film study, on-field drills, recovery and more. So this will be a perfect opportunity for Carolina's young tight ends to learn a thing or two. Follow @ThePanthersWire on Twitter/X for more Panthers content.

Chuba Hubbard's birthday celebration? Competing, getting chatty with Panthers defense
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Wednesday was Chuba Hubbard's birthday, not that you would have known it watching the Carolina Panthers' minicamp session and the post-practice activities. It looked like any other day for the 26-year-old running back. Hubbard ran hard and engaged in a war of words with Jaycee Horn and every other defender who dared to challenge him. Then, when practice wrapped up, Hubbard found an equipment staffer to fire footballs at him while most of his teammates headed to the air conditioning. Advertisement The only thing missing was tight end Tommy Tremble, Hubbard's friend and JUGS machine partner, who remains sidelined following back surgery. 'Obviously, that's my guy. He would have been out here catching with me per usual if he could've,' Hubbard said. 'But just a bump in the road. He'll bounce back. We have, in my opinion, the best staff when it comes to training stuff like that. They take care of us. So he'll be back by the season and be ready to go.' Hubbard will unwind for a bit after minicamp concludes Thursday and will host a youth camp in July in his hometown of Edmonton. But Hubbard is never too far from work. While some guys might have a barbecue grill or basketball court in their backyard, Hubbard has his own JUGS machine. Visitors are welcome to use it, including a neighbor who likes to try his hand at snagging passes. 'So shoutout to my neighbor,' Hubbard said. The Panthers extended Hubbard halfway through the 2024 season on a four-year, $33.2 million deal. With his propensity to work in practice and produce in games, Hubbard is exactly the kind of player that Dave Canales and Dan Morgan want to reward. It's also telling that Hubbard and Horn, who signed a four-year, $100 million extension in March, are the most vocal players on the field while trying to set the tone for practice. 'It's usually always Jaycee and Chuba,' said rookie edge rusher Princely Umanmielen, who just arrived in April. 'Chuba's always yapping. He's a big trash talker. So the defense always goes at it with him.' Hubbard declined to get into the particulars of his trash-talking with Horn, for fear it would give his birthday an R rating. 'I probably shouldn't say it on camera. Just keep it on the field,' he said. 'But it was definitely competitive. I love that type of stuff, so it was good.' Advertisement What hasn't been as good has been the coaching staff and front-office churn Hubbard has endured since the Panthers drafted him in the fourth round out of Oklahoma State in 2021. This will be the first year of Hubbard's career with the same head coach and offensive coordinator from the previous season. He's ready for some stability. 'Obviously, the last four years I've been here, it's been a new head coach, new scheme, new system,' Hubbard said. 'So to build off what we had last year, which I believe was really good — and to build off that chemistry — I mean, we see it out here. Just the way we're practicing, the way we trust each other, the way we're communicating, it's starting to show. Just the more we practice, the more we play, the closer we're gonna get and the better we're gonna get.' Chuba Hubbard getting birthday wishes as he signs autographs — Joe Person (@josephperson) June 11, 2025 The running back room has a new makeup this year with the additions of fourth-round pick Trevor Etienne and free-agent acquisition Rico Dowdle. While praising the newcomers, Hubbard also appeared to take a veiled shot at Miles Sanders, who lost his starting spot to Hubbard in 2024 and wasn't the happiest camper before getting released in March. 'Usually in the running back room, sometimes it can be a little off,' Hubbard said. 'But everyone's cool in our room, and that's a blessing. I don't take that for granted.' Despite missing the final two games with a calf strain, Hubbard rushed for 1,195 yards in 2024 to become the Panthers' first 1,000-yard rusher since Christian McCaffrey in 2019. He hopes to build on that this year after a brief respite. 'I'm gonna take me some time off. It's my birthday, so a couple days,' he said. 'But after that, straight back to work. It's a big year.'
