Panthers Tracks: A strong Panthers defense, and everything you missed at training camp
Training camp at Wofford is over, and Saturday marks another test for the Carolina Panthers. They’ll face the Baltimore Ravens in a preseason game, after practicing against them on Wednesday and Thursday.
Similar to their joint practices with the Colts, the Panthers were much better against the Ravens in the second practice than they were in the first practice.
