Panthers Show Offensive Improvement in Second Preseason Game

The Panthers offense improved in their second preseason game after struggling in their opener, where they failed to secure a first down in three drives. On Friday night, quarterback Bryce Young led the team to six first downs before running back Jonathon Brooks scored a one-yard touchdown early in the second quarter.

Head coach Dave Canales noted the importance of the performance, emphasizing that while preseason results should be taken cautiously, they can help build confidence for the regular season. He expressed satisfaction with the run game and the overall execution, highlighting the team's discipline with only five penalties.

The Panthers will conclude their preseason against the Houston Texans next Friday, before preparing for their Week 1 matchup against the Chicago Bears, which will be a more accurate measure of their readiness to defend their NFC South title.
