#Panthers QB Andy Dalton is dealing in the 1st half vs. the Raiders: - 15/22 - 212 yards - 3 TDs - 0 INTs - 138.6 passer rating Carolina is up 21-7. ?? pic.x.com/wpujzqd42t

The #Panthers are expected to start QB Bryce Young again this season, with the benching of the No. 1 pick viewed as a break or timeout more than anything. They believe he can still be the guy. My story: nfl.com/news/panthers-... nfl.com/news/panthers-...

Dalton hits Diontae Johnson for 35, and then Adam Thielen for a 31-yard touchdown, but Thielen is down after the play. He's up and walking off.

Then Dalton hits Diontae Johnson for 17, and Chuba runs for 8. Quite a start.

Panthers drive stalls, and they're forced to punt, but then Lonnie Johnson downs the Hekker attempt at the 3. That's what they call complementary football.

Eddy Pineiro good from 43 yards to start the third quarter. Panthers 24-7.

Mike Jackson PBU on fourth down. Panthers get the ball back at the 39.

Miles Sanders touchdown. (He had one last season). The madcap Panthers went for two to try to make the margin 28, but Xavier Legette couldn't get the second foot down in bounds. It's 33-7 with 13:33 left.

Nick Thurman will start at NT today in place of Shy Tuttle. For a guy who was part of a mid-camp tryout in Spartanburg 13 months ago (along with LaBryan Ray), he's played some good football here. He also speaks multiple languages.

All has not been lost for the Carolina Panthers’ defensive line in Week 3.

This afternoon’s matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders will already be missing Pro Bowler Derrick Brown and nose tackle Shy Tuttle. Brown, of course, had his season ended due to a meniscus tear he sustained in Week 1 while Tuttle, who was listed as doubtful on Friday’s injury report, was officially ruled out yesterday.

With those two down, the Carolina defense was left with just one opening-day starter from their line—A’Shawn Robinson. But Robinson, who was down as questionable after three limited practices this week, will be in uniform
