The Carolina Panthers kicked off their 2025 Organized Team Activities (OTAs) with positive feedback from head coach Dave Canales, who described the session as a "great day." Notably, defensive lineman Derrick Brown was present on the field, indicating a promising recovery from his meniscus surgery, although he did not participate in drills. Tight end Tommy Tremble, however, recently underwent back surgery, raising concerns about his availability for the start of the season; the team hopes he will be ready for training camp.

Additionally, receiver Hunter Renfrow is making strides after missing the entire 2024 season due to health issues, and there are high hopes for second-year wideout Xavier Legette, who is showing improved confidence and speed. The Panthers also scheduled joint practices with the Houston Texans as they prepare for their preseason matchup, signaling a proactive approach as they build team chemistry and assess their roster ahead of the upcoming season.
