The Carolina Panthers begin their 2025 season with a tricky-looking road test against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Dave Canales laid down the gauntlet to anyone standing in their path. And now, his players must deliver accordingly.
It's been an encouraging offseason, aside from a few complications along the way. The new arrivals have settled in well, and everyone has stayed relatively clear of injuries. However, not having the presence of left tackle Ikem Ekwonu isn't exactly ideal versus the formidable Jaguars pass-rushing duo of Travon Walker and Josh Hines-Allen.
Canales believes his team can be more competitive during the upcoming campaign.
