Panthers open 0-2 for the fourth straight year as early deficits again hamstring the start. A 26-10 loss at Jacksonville and a 27-22 stumble in Arizona left Carolina chasing from the first half, with Bryce Young delivering a late push that fell short. The long-running skid since 2018, now 36-82, underscores persistent roster gaps and coaching turnover. Offseason chatter links Jadeveon Clowney to a Cowboys deal and signals a 2026 safety target, hinting at roster moves that could reshape fantasy values.
