Panthers K Joey Slye struggles in practice vs. Dominik Eberle Dominik Eberle is already gaining ground on Joey Slye in the Panthers’ sudden kicking competition.
Could face job challenge Panthers GM Scott Fitterer said the Panthers like Slye but will continue to look at other kickers, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Impact Slye is the only kicker on the roster, despite making just 79.4 percent of his field-goal attempts through two seasons. He does have a huge leg, but even then, he went just 1-of-6 from 50-plus last year, down from 8-of-11 in 2019. He's now been struggling in the preseason, and the Panthers seem to be getting nervous with their opener less than three weeks away. The team will continue to try out kickers and may actually sign one soon.

Another miss Saturday Slye missed from 37 yards but later converted a 41-yard field goal during Saturday's 20-3 preseason loss to the Ravens.
Impact Slye has missed three kicks in Carolina's two preseason outings thus far, a less-than-ideal start to the campaign following some erraticism last term. After the game, coach Matt Rhule acknowledged Slye's struggles and hopes he'll get over the hump soon, Joseph Person of The Athletic reports. As a result, it'll be interesting to see how Slye, who has been the Panthers' kicker the past two years, fares in Friday's exhibition finale versus the Steelers.

Just one point in finale Slye did not attempt a field goal but made his only extra point in Sunday's 33-7 loss to the Saints.
Impact Slye was limited to PAT work as Carolina's offense struggled to get in scoring position for the second straight week. Despite combining for just three points in his last two outings, Slye still racked up 120 points on the campaign, making 29 of 36 field goals and 33 of 36 extra points. Notably, however, five of Slye's field-goal misses came from 50-plus yards, where his strong leg influenced the Panthers to attempt potential record-long kicks on a couple desperate occasions. However, he still improved on his rookie point total while finishing 13th league-wide in the category, further establishing himself as a reliable commodity at the position despite Carolina's offense teetering with superstar Christian McCaffrey (thigh) unavailable for the most of the 2020 campaign.

However, with 119 total stops this season, Slye will have another chance to add to his career best Sunday versus the Saints.
