TOMMY TREMBLE NEWS

Sits out Wednesday Tremble (concussion) didn't take part in Wednesday's practice, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Tremble endured a helmet-to-helmet hit from Bears safety Jaquan Brisker this past Sunday, which resulted in the tight end entering the concussion protocol. With just two more chances to mix into drills this week, he could be hard-pressed to put himself in a position to play Sunday against the Falcons. Meanwhile, fellow TE Ian Thomas (calf), who remains on injured reserve, practiced fully Wednesday and "absolutely" may return this weekend, as coach Dave Canales told Steve Reed of the Associated Press. If that comes to pass, the Panthers may have to roll with Thomas, Ja'Tavion Sanders and Feleipe Franks at the position Week 6.

Impact Tremble was popped hard by Jaquan Brisker on a seven-yard catch in the second quarter, losing a fumble on the hit. With Tremble now out, rookie Ja'Tavion Sanders should operate as the Panthers' top tight end for the remainder of Sunday's contest.

Getting concussion check Tremble is under evaluation for a concussion during Sunday's game at Chicago, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports.

Impact Tremble endured a hit to the head on a seven-yard catch late in the second quarter and lost a fumble in the process. While he was able to walk to the sideline under his own power, he then went to the locker room for a concussion check. If Tremble eventually is diagnosed with such an injury, Ja'Tavion Sanders and Feleipe Franks will be the Panthers' available and healthy tight ends for the rest of Week 5.

Cleared for this Sunday Tremble (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Chicago, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Tremble returned to practice Friday as a limited participant after being held out Thursday. Fellow tight end Ian Thomas (calf) is considered questionable to return from injured reserve for Sunday's game, although it isn't clear if that would impact Tremble's role. Tremble played 86 and 87 percent of snaps on offense the past two games, catching three passes for 29 yards in a Week 3 win over the Raider before going without a target on 31 routes in last week's loss to the Bengals. He has a long track record of extremely low target rates and has topped 35 yards just once in 52 games.

OCTOBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Added to injury report Tremble was a non-participant in Thursday's practice due to a knee injury.

Impact Though he didn't take any reps Thursday, Tremble was on the field during the portion of practice that was available to the media, per Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site. Tremble will likely need to increase his activity in Friday's practice to put himself on track to play in Sunday's game against the Bears.

OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Not targeted in Week 4 Tremble wasn't targeted in Sunday's 34-24 loss to the Bengals.

Impact The Panthers' tight end room remains seemingly open, as Tremble was thought to be the team's top option but was out-produced by rookie Ja'Tavion Sanders (two catches for 16 yards) again in Week 4. Despite Carolina's immense offensive improvements over the last two weeks, Tremble remains too inconsistent to be a viable fantasy option moving forward.

Three catches in win Tremble caught all three of his targets for 29 yards during Sunday's 36-22 win over the Raiders.

Impact The Notre Dame product appears to be the Panthers' top tight end once again after being out-snapped by Ja'Tavion Sanders in Week 2. Tremble played 38 more offensive snaps and saw two more targets than Sanders during Sunday's win. However, Tremble's increased offensive workload didn't translate to many more opportunities, as the 24-year-old was targeted just three times. Carolina's offense looks rejuvenated with Andy Dalton taking the reins from Bryce Young, meaning Tremble could find fantasy relevance more often as the season progresses.

Good to go Sunday Tremble (hamstring/back) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Raiders and is expected to play, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Impact Tremble got in a full week of limited practices. After missing the season opener, Tremble made his 2024 debut last week as the starter versus the Chargers. Tremble, however, played two fewer snaps than rookie Ja'Tavion Sanders, but did out-target him four to two, finishing with three catches for 23 yards. Tremble will be catching passes from Andy Dalton this Sunday.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Stays limited Thursday Tremble (hamstring/back) was limited at Thursday's practice, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Opening Week 3 prep with consecutive capped sessions due to hamstring and back issues leaves Tremble with some work to do to avoid a designation on Friday's injury report. Assuming he ultimately is able to suit up Sunday at Las Vegas, he'll be vying with rookie fourth-round pick Ja'Tavion Sanders for TE reps in an Andy Dalton-led offense.

SEPTEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Remains limited this week Tremble (hamstring/back) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Tremble made his season debut this past Sunday against the Chargers, earning a 46 percent share of snaps and reeling in three of four targets for 23 yards. Meanwhile, rookie tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders logged two more snaps (24 versus 22), but his two catches on as many targets went for just eight yards. Assuming Tremble is able to gut out his health concerns moving forward, he should continue to start and perhaps even increase his workload as the season goes on.

SEPTEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Makes season debut Tremble made three catches on four targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Chargers.

Impact Tremble had been sidelined due to lingering hamstring and back issues which kept him out of the Panthers' loss to the Saints in Week 1. He essentially split snaps with rookie Ja'Tavion Sanders in his return, as each saw the field for about 50 percent of the team's plays on offense. Tremble's workload could increase in future weeks, as he was expected to be the team's No. 1 option at the position, at least while Ian Thomas (calf) is on IR. Although, it's possible splitting the work with Sanders could remain the plan. Either way, Tremble's fantasy outlook is likely bleak, unless his role does increase and the insertion of Andy Dalton at quarterback bolsters Carolina's offense significantly.

SEPTEMBER 16 • PANTHERS.COM

Gets green light Tremble (hamstring/back) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact As expected, Tremble will make his 2024 season debut despite being listed as questionable. Hamstring and back issues cost Tremble the season opener, and while he returned to practice this week, he still hasn't logged a full session since suffering the injury, suggesting he may be on a snap count versus Los Angeles. Rookie Ja'Tavion Sanders played 71 percent of Carolina's offensive snaps versus the Saints and figures to maintain a sizable role. However, Ian Thomas (calf) remains on IR, leaving plenty of opportunities for Tremble to make an impact. The Notre Dame product caught 23 of 32 targets for 194 yards and three scores across 16 regular-season appearances in 2023.

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to play Tremble (hamstring/back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, with coach Dave Canales saying Friday that he expects the tight end to play, Darin Gantt...

Impact Tremble missed Week 1 and still hasn't logged full practice participation, but he at least managed limited status Wednesday through Friday after being held out entirely last week. His return could take playing time away from rookie Ja'Tavion Sanders, who played 71 percent of snaps in a Week 1 loss to New Orleans with both Tremble and Ian Thomas (IR - calf) inactive. Sanders was targeted once on 23 routes and caught the pass for a four-yard gain.

SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Another limited showing Tremble (hamstring/back) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Tremble has been dealing with a hamstring issue since the early days of training camp in late July, while a back injury showed up on Carolina's Week 1 practice report. They combined to sideline him this past Sunday at New Orleans, but with back-to-back capped sessions under his belt, he seems to be positioning himself to make his season debut this weekend. Ultimately, Friday's report will reveal whether or not he has a designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers.

SEPTEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice Tremble (hamstring) returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant.

Impact Tremble has been injured since August and missed Week 1, but he now has a shotat playing this Sunday against the Chargers. Rookie tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders handled 71 percent snap share and 66 percent route share in the season opener at New Orleans, catching his lone target for four yards, with Jordan Matthews taking on 36 percent snap share for an offense that was missing Tremble and Ian Thomas (IR - hamstring). Both Sanders and Matthews could lose playing time once Tremble returns.

SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Week 1 Tremble (hamstring/back) did not practice Friday and is ruled out for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Saints, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Tremble and Ian Thomas (calf) are both ruled out for Week 1, leaving rookie Ja'Tavion Sanders, veteran Jordan Matthews and newcomer Messiah Swinson as healthy options among Carolina's tight end room. His next chance to take the field will come Week 2 at home versus the Chargers.

SEPTEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Misses another practice Tremble (hamstring/back) is listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice report.

Impact Tremble and backup tight end Ian Thomas (calf) have now missed back-to-back practices, and it looks like both could be in danger of missing Sunday's regular-season opener against the Saints. Carolina recently added Messiah Swinson to the tight end room as a result of injuries atop the depth chart, and the team also has rookie Ja'Tavion Sanders and Jordan Matthews healthy at the position.

SEPTEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

No practice Wednesday Tremble (hamstring/back) didn't practice Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Tremble has been dealing with a tight hamstring since the early days of training camp, but the Panthers also are listing him with a back injury on their first practice report of the campaign. Ian Thomas also was a non-participant Wednesday, leaving rookie fourth-rounder Ja'Tavion Sanders, Jordan Matthews and Messiah Swinson as the healthy tight ends on the team's active roster. Tremble and Thomas will have two more days to put themselves in a position to play Sunday at New Orleans before Carolina potentially makes a ruling on both players' statuses.

Tommy Tremble is optimistic about Week 1 Tremble gave an update on his hamstring injury and hopes to play on opening day.
