Things getting testy. Some extracurricular after the play between who appeared to be Chuba Hubbard and Trevin Wallace. More clarification coming after practice, but quite a few guys jumping in to break it up. Five minutes later, practice over. #Panthers | WSOCTV

Chuba Hubbard after: “It’s all love.” Says he doesn’t fault anyone, including Trevin Wallace, for playing hard. That’s what he loves. Also admits, with a smile, he can react “a little crazy sometimes.” WSOCTV | #Panthers

On #Panthers WR Hunter Renfrow, Dabo Swinney said there's running routes - then, there's being a craftsman. Renfrow, he says, is a craftsman. I asked the Pro Bowl wideout how he perceives the difference. Here's what he told me. #Panthers WSOCTV

More than his words, this emotion from #Panthers Taylor Moton spoke volumes. Asked if it's unsettling going into the season knowing it may be his last in Carolina, Moton did more than respond. He poured his heart out. WSOCTV

When the Panthers set out to upgrade its roster, DT Tershawn 'Turk' Wharton was among the first players they signed. He's adopted the on-field mentality of a gorilla, with the heart of a girl dad. And while no one player can "save" the defense, some may call him a hero. WSOCTV
