The Panthers are expected to join the Patriots for joint practice sessions ahead of the two teams’ preseason matchup in August, according to several reports.
This isn’t officially official, but Panthers head coach Matt Rhule did confirm the team’s plans to work with New England ahead of their preseason game this summer.
Speaking to reporters at the annual NFL meeting in Palm Beach, FL, Rhule said that the league has to approve the plan but that he and his Patriots counterpart, Bill Belichick, have discussed the matter. The Panthers’ coach is expecting to get some “good, productive work” out of the joint sessions with New England.
