The Carolina Panthers are looking for increased production from their tight ends during ongoing NFL training camp. Quarterback Bryce Young's recent practice highlighted missed opportunities, including a dropped pass by tight end Tommy Tremble. The last tight end to record significant yardage for the Panthers was Greg Olson in 2019, marking a long-standing issue for the unit. Coach Dave Canales acknowledged the need for better performance and has noted the potential for Sanders to have a breakout year. As the team prepares for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game against the Arizona Cardinals, the tight end depth chart shows Tremble in the top position and Sanders in third, with his availability uncertain due to an ankle issue.
