The Panthers have finalized a couple joint practice dates with one team and are in talks with another. Yesterday, head coach Matt Rhule confirmed that his team will hold two joint practices with the Colts before their preseason matchup in August – the first of the year.
Apparently, Carolina is also looking for a few with the Ravens, their next opponent on the preseason schedule. According to a report by Joe Person at the Athletic, they’re in talks.
“The Panthers might have joint practices the following week, as well. They’re talking with the Ravens about practicing together in Charlotte or Spartanburg heading into their Aug. 21 exhibition at Bank of America Stadium, according to a source.”
Rhule has one of the youngest teams in the league, so it makes sense that he wants to get as many live reps as possible this summer.
Baltimore should provide a challenge that few teams around the NFL can match. In Lamar Jackson they have a former MVP and one of the sport’s most dynamic athletes. The Ravens have won at least 10 games every year since they drafted him and since John Harbaugh took over as coach in 2008, they’ve had a losing record only one season.
