Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule hasn’t been shy about his careful approach to nursing player injuries this summer. But, at least by the looks of tonight’s pregame workouts, the starters weren’t shy about suiting up, regardless of status.
Amongst those in full uniform for Saturday’s pregame matchup with the Baltimore Ravens were wide receivers DJ Moore and Robby Anderson. Both did hit the field early on in the night, presumably to get all of the day’s work in. That, however, may not be the case.

Moore (back) fell awkwardly on his right side during Thursday’s joint practice. Although he lobbied with Rhule to get back into the action, the fourth-year wideout was held out to finish off camp.
Anderson (hamstring) did not go at all with the Ravens in Spartanburg, S.C. this week. He was seen on the side, rather, working on the exercise bike.
Projected starting left tackle Cameron Erving, who had been struggling to consistently stay on the field during camp, is also in uniform. Starting right tackle Taylor Moton took over the reps on the blindside Thursday after Erving’s exit.
We will see how much each of the expected starters will stay on the new turf at Bank of America Stadium tonight.
