Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan adds weight for second season

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan enters his second professional season after gaining 20 pounds during the offseason. The former AP Offensive Rookie of the Year stated the physical adjustment is intended to replicate his college playing weight to improve his strength and speed. McMillan, who aims to help the Panthers improve upon their 8-9 record from 2025, expressed that the team remains motivated following their playoff loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The Panthers look to address skepticism regarding their ability to repeat as NFC South champions. The team opens the 2026 season on September 13 against the Chicago Bears at home. This game serves as a test for the Panthers against another 2025 division winner as they look to support quarterback Bryce Young with an enhanced offensive attack.
