.
As expected, the Carolina Panthers will begin the 2024 regular season without a couple of their starters on offense.
The team has officially ruled out both Tommy Tremble (hamstring/back) and Ian Thomas (calf) from Sunday's opener against the NFC South rival New Orleans Saints . Tremble and Thomas, who did not participate in practice all week , have been listed as the first-string tight ends on Carolina's first unofficial depth chart of the new campaign.

Their absences could give way to opportunities for 2024 fourth-round pick Ja'Tavion Sanders as well as Jordan Matthews . The 21-year-old rookie and the 32-year old veteran have impressed throughout the summer, and should serve as the next men up for Tremble and Thomas.
Carolina might also be without backup tackle Yosh Nijman , who has been deemed questionable due to a tibia injury.
