— While Rhule wasn't getting into too much detail about his plans for the regular-season opener against the Jets, he did seem confident in sticking with his offensive line as presently constructed.
They started Cameron Erving at left tackle, Pat Elflein at left guard, Matt Paradis at center, John Miller at right guard, and Taylor Moton at right tackle against the Steelers, and that will likely be the lineup in the opener.
"If we played today, those would be the five we put out there," Rhule said.
While rookie Brady Christensen played more at left tackle in the second half against the Steelers than he had practically all of training camp, Rhule said they still see his future at right tackle or guard.
— The Panthers still aren't particularly deep at linebacker, but Rhule said the team had some "sneaky, hidden depth" at the position.
He specifically mentioned Frankie Luvu's ability to play inside as well as out, or Marquis Haynes' ability to move from defensive end to outside linebacker, or safety Jeremy Chinn's ability to come up as a factor when they look for the five or six linebackers they'll carry into the regular season.
That said, they're still likely looking for some help at inside linebacker, and that's a spot where it's generally easier to pick up someone with experience.
— Players will have Sunday off, and return to practice Monday. The team still has to make 17 cuts (plus moving cornerback A.J. Bouye to the reserve/suspended list for the first two weeks of the regular season) to get to the regular-season limit of 53.
