How much happened in the world of the Carolina Panthers this week?
Well ...
Jonathan Mingo, the team’s second-round pick in 2023, got traded to the Dallas Cowboys.
Jonathon Brooks, the team’s 2024 second-round pick, got activated to the 53-man roster and thus might make his NFL debut on Sunday against the New York Giants.
Fortunately, Charlotte Observer reporters Mike Kaye and Alex Zietlow are here to help break down these bits of news in the latest episode of Processing Blue. They also provide some expert commentary — as well as dutiful attempts at humor? — on these topics and briefly preview the Panthers-Giants matchup.
