Saints score the game's first touchdown on a 10-play, 75-yard drive. Included that wild 42-yard catch by Chris Olave, a Taysom Hill pass in the red zone, and quite a few runs by Tony Jones Jr. We've seen a lot of him since Jamaal Williams fell injured.
The Panthers made it to midfield but ending up having to punt. But it's a better result than that sack-fumble in their own territory that was negated by defensive holding.
Second straight Panthers three-and-out. Just a couple of Miles Sanders runs and a Bryce Young throwaway under pressure – again. Minus-3 yards on the drive.
So the initial impression was that wasn't a catch for Michael Thomas, but the officials reconvened and determined he had possession of that catch in bounds. Saints are inside the 5.
Good thing they have an extra LB up tonight, as Claudin Cherelus is active for the first time. They have some spares along with Chandler Wooten behind Luvu and Grugier-Hill.
The Panthers will be starting Chandler Zavala at left guard and Cade Mays at right guard, according to the lineup changes list handed out here in the press box.
They're putting the NC State teammates together, LT Ikem Ekwonu and LG Chandler Zavala.
White jerseys, white britches tonight, as modeled by JJ Jansen.

The Panthers promoted practice squad OL Justin McCray for tonight (standard elevation) giving them some more line depth with a couple of replacement guards starting.
