How did the Carolina Panthers rookies perform in their preseason debuts at the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday?
The Carolina Panthers concluded the first week of the NFL preseason, falling to the Indianapolis Colts 21-18 on a last-minute field goal.
Obviously, the outcome of this game doesn’t mean all that much, especially since head coach Matt Rhule decided not to play the starters on Sunday. While players like Christian McCaffrey and D.J. Moore don’t need preseason reps, it would’ve been nice for fans to see what the Panthers have in Sam Darnold in a game setting instead of training camp practices or scrimmages.
