NFL training camp previews for all 32 teams: Predictions, fantasy battles, players to watch​


Thirty-one NFL training camps open this week after the Las Vegas Raiders got an early start last week, and there is no shortage of compelling storylines across the league.There was plenty of movement in the offseason, from quarterbacks such as Russell Wilson and Matt Ryan to elite wide receivers such as Davante Adams and Tyreek Hill.

Carolina Panthers

Camp prediction: Baker Mayfield won't be the starting quarterback, at least initially. This might come as a shock to the 91.6% on my informal Twitter poll who predicted Mayfield would be the Week 1 starter. But Sam Darnold has an entire offseason learning Ben McAdoo's system and the terminology to his advantage. Darnold is also healthy while Mayfield is about six months removed from surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left (non-throwing) shoulder. He's on track to a full recovery, but that's still an obstacle to overcome. Darnold has nothing to lose for the first time in his NFL career, so he has less pressure than the top pick of the 2018 draft.

Carolina Panthers training camp preview: Will Baker Mayfield win starting QB job over Sam Darnold?​


The most compelling position battle: Quarterback easily. General manager Scott Fitterer added competition at every position to strengthen the overall roster. But the biggest question remains quarterback, as it has been since the middle of the 2018 season, when Cam Newton began to struggle with a shoulder
injury. Trading for former No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield three weeks before training camp reinforced that the Panthers aren’t comfortable that Sam Darnold can lead them to the playoffs. Fitterer saying both quarterbacks will get equal reps in camp further emphasizes the uncertainty, particularly after all the praise heaped on Darnold during offseason workouts. Fitterer didn’t just trade for a veteran quarterback, he traded for one that led the Cleveland Browns to an 11-5 record and a playoff win in 2020. Darnold is 17-32 as a starter and has never been to the playoffs. He also went 4-7 last season in his first year with the Panthers after a 3-0 start. Mayfield’s dynamic personality versus Darnold’s stoic disposition also makes this compelling.

The player with the most to prove: This could be Darnold. Or Mayfield. But for the sake of not piling onto the quarterback spot let’s go with running back Christian McCaffrey. When healthy, he’s one of the best, most versatile weapons in the NFL. What McCaffrey has to prove is he can stay healthy. He’s played in only 10 of 33 games the past two seasons because of injuries. The Panthers are 6-17 without him during that span. Coach Matt Rhule calls it bad luck that injuries have impacted McCaffrey’s playing time, noting all have been of the soft tissue variety. But McCaffrey was concerned enough during the offseason that he contacted Hall of Fame back Marshall Faulk for training advice in hopes something will help him stay on the field more. A healthy McCaffrey will make it easier for Darnold or Mayfield to prove themselves.

The biggest question: Again, let’s avoid quarterback and go with will the rebuilt offensive line be an upgrade? This group was a disaster in 2021, allowing the fifth-most sacks (52). So Fitterer made a commitment to fix it. He added guard Austin Corbett and center Bradley Bozeman in free agency. He made Ikem Austin Ekwonu the sixth overall pick of the draft to play left tackle. That was the first time Carolina spent a first-round pick on an offensive lineman since Jeff Otah in 2008. Pro Football Focus’ Michael Renner ranked the revamped line 24th, and in his words a “conservative estimate for what was one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL last season — but it's one that is now bursting with potential after multiple offseason moves." The additions, with Taylor Moton already one of the top right tackles in the league and second-year player Brady Christensen likely at guard, makes this group a big upgrade on paper. But until they come together on the field, it remains a question.

Personality part of Baker Mayfield's edge over Sam Darnold in Carolina Panthers' QB competition​


So far, the Carolina Panthers have gotten the filtered version of quarterback Baker Mayfield in terms of trash talking in practice and supplying bulletin board material in interviews. He has been almost ... well, Sam Darnold-like, laid back with his answers and antics, as he and Darnold battle for the starting job that is close to being Mayfield's. Coach Matt Rhule and offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo called Mayfield’s progress in learning the offense during the portion of training camp at Wofford College “impressive." McAdoo, who rated Mayfield the sixth-best quarterback in 2018, when the Heisman Trophy winner went No. 1 to Cleveland, loves the way Mayfield has taken command of the quarterback room and offense.

Carolina Panthers rookie QB Matt Corral sidelined 'long-term' with torn ligament in foot​


Cafolina Panthers rookie quarterback Matt Corral likely will miss the 2022-23 season with what coach Matt Rhule called a "significant'' Lisfranc ligament tear.
Corral suffered the left foot injury in the Friday night preseason loss at New England. A 2016 study in the American Journal of Sports Medicine determined NFL players with Lisfranc injuries treated without surgery missed an average of 6.2 months recovering and those who underwent surgery missed an average of 11.6 months. Corral likely would have been the third quarterback, behind Mayfield and Darnold. Carolina also has former XFL star PJ Walker, who is 2-0 as a starter for the Panthers the past two years.
