The Panthers opened their season with a loss to the Saints. What has changed since then? What has stayed the same? 

The Carolina Panthers will start Cade Mays at center and Brady Christensen at left tackle for the Saints game, with Ikem Ekwonu out. 

The left tackle has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Saints, after leaving last week's game at Denver with an ankle injury.

Carolina Panthers rookie safety Demani Richardson was called upon Sunday and delivered, as a surprise to none of his teammates. 

It's a Halloween edition of the Notebook, as Brad Idzik shares his favorite memories, and Ejiro Evero previews Carr's return. 

The veteran is again the backup this week after his thumb injury, but said he felt well enough that he's confident he could play Sunday.

The Panthers rookie wideout was listed as limited with a toe issue on Thursday, though most of the players on the report were full participants.

The veteran wideout went from keeping the coyotes away from his cows to shepherding a group of young receivers here, evidence of why Dave Canales keeps bringing him places.

In the second-year quarterback's first starting action since Week 2, he leaned on Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker, trusting the rookies to make plays. And it paid off, helping all three players grow.

Dave Canales said part of the decision to start Bryce Young Sunday against the Saints was to give Dalton time to heal fully. Plus more from Wednesday including Brooks and Wonnum updates.

The second-year quarterback will start Sunday's game with the Saints, after Andy Dalton returned to the practice field.

The quarterback was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's practice as they prepare for this week's game against the Saints.
