The Panthers held their first padded practice of training camp on Monday and it came with a bit of fireworks. Every coach wants to see an elevated level of intensity when the pads come on, but when players blur the lines between enemy and teammate, then maybe there needs to be some pulling back.
At the end of a running play, running back Chuba Hubbard took a late shot from linebacker Trevin Wallace. Hubbard seemingly took offense to the move as he stood right up to throw a punch Wallace’s way.
However, things were simmered down to an afterthought by the end of practice.
