2 Panthers Players On Roster Bubble Who Must Shine In Preseason

If there's one word that should define the Carolina Panthers season in 2024, it has to be player development. Sure, it would be nice to see the team put it all together, win more games than they lose, and represent their division in the playoffs like the Houston Texans last season, but if the team can simply settle on a few long-term starters to build around into the future, that would be a pretty productive use of everyone's time. Well, these players need to be focused on closest of all, as how they perform this preseason – or how the younger players around them play – could define their careers moving forward, including a former star free agent running back and a veteran kicker who is actively giving up snaps to a promising UDFA in the pursuit of a new contract. Who will be the Panthers' kicker come Week 1?
