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.

Some starters are expected to play against the Ravens on Saturday, including Sam Darnold; it will be the first chance to see a lot of this team in a game situation.
