Mike Tomlin said his plan to play starters would depend on who the Carolina Panthers intended to play. Turns out, the Panthers don’t plan on playing hardly anyone expected to make the 53-man roster, much less start for the team Week One. Per the Panthers’ website, a whopping 33 players won’t dress for tonight’s preseason finale against the Steelers. That accounts for more than one-third of the team’s roster.
Virtually zero of the team’s starters will suit up. QB Bryce Young, rookie WR Tetairoa McMillan, CB Jaycee Horn, RB Chuba Hubbard, DT Derrick Brown, and the Panthers’ offensive line will watch from the sidelines.
