TOMMY TREMBLE NEWS

Snap count cut in half Week 2 Tremble went without a target while playing nine of the Panthers' 54 offensive snaps (17 percent) in Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Giants.

Impact Tremble's usage was cut in half compared to the Panthers' season-opening loss to the Browns, when he was on the field for 17 snaps (34 percent share). Ian Thomas looks to be locked in as Carolina's clear top tight end, and Tremble may not necessarily have a steady hold on the No. 2 role. Stephen Sullivan played only five fewer snaps than Tremble in Week 2 and turned his lone target into a 13-yard reception.

Plays in preseason opener Tremble played but wasn't targeted in Saturday's 23-21 preseason win over the Commanders.

Impact Tremble started at tight end and played 11 offensive snaps prior to calling it a day. Although he didn't get his hands on the ball, Tremble should continue to benefit from more reps in practice following Ian Thomas' recent rib injury. As a rookie last year, Tremble caught 20 of 35 targets for 180 yards and a touchdown, numbers he'll strive to expand upon in new coordinator Ben McAdoo's scheme.

Finishes rookie season Tremble caught two of five targets for seven yards and rushed once for four yards in Sunday's 41-17 loss to the Buccaneers.

Impact Tremble returned from the reserve/COVID-19 list and played five more offensive snaps than teammate Ian Thomas, who wasn't targeted. Despite garnering his most looks in a game this season, Tremble's production was as mild as usual. In 16 appearances, the third-rounder caught 20 of 35 targets for 180 yards and a touchdown, while also rushing three times for 11 yards and another score. With Thomas an unrestricted free agent this offseason, it's possible Tremble profiles as the Panthers' starting tight end in 2022, although they could always add to their options at the position. In any case, Tremble will strive to build on his rookie campaign with more volume in the passing game next term.

Returns from COVID-19 list Carolina activated Tremble (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Impact The rookie will return to his timeshare at tight end with Ian Thomas after missing the Week 17 loss at New Orleans. Tremble and the Panthers close out their disappointing season this Sunday against the Buccaneers.

Not activated for Week 17 Tremble (illness) won't be available for Sunday's game in New Orleans after the Panthers didn't activate him from the reserve/COVID-19 list prior to Saturday's deadline for week 17...

Impact Considering Tremble was placed on the list Friday, he was never likely to test out of the NFL's COVID-19 return-to-play protocol 48 hours later. Ian Thomas is expected to replace Tremble as the Panthers' starting tight end Sunday, though he likely won't see as much involvement in the passing game.

JANUARY 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Added to COVID list Tremble was added to the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday afternoon.

Impact Given the timing, Tremble is unlikely to play in Sunday's game against the Saints. His probable absence should give Ian Thomas more snaps, with Stephen Sullivan potentially also taking on some work. Tremble has yet to see more than four targets in a contest but does have a 13-game streak with at least one.

DECEMBER 31, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Makes two grabs Tremble caught two of three targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 32-6 loss to the Buccaneers.

Impact Tremble played 17 more offensive snaps than fellow tight end Ian Thomas, once again outproducing the veteran as well. As Carolina looks to develop their younger players over the season's last couple weeks, the rookie Tremble could continue to enjoy a starter's share of snaps.

DECEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Catches one pass Tremble caught one of four targets for eight yards in Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Bills.

Impact Tremble played seven more snaps than Ian Thomas, but neither tight end managed more than one reception. In a struggling offense, the rookie usually doesn't make much of an impact beyond a catch or two for mild yardage, restricting his fantasy value.

DECEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Catches both targets Tremble caught both of his targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Falcons.

Impact Tremble played just one less offensive snap than fellow tight end Ian Thomas and again outperformed him statistically. Although he's usually only good for a catch or two, Tremble's increased involvement over the course of his rookie campaign is a positive development.

DECEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sees three targets Tremble caught one of three targets for four yards in Sunday's 33-10 loss to the Dolphins.

Impact Tremble couldn't follow up his career-best receiving yardage in Week 11 with another good showing Sunday, as Carolina struggled mightily through the air. With the Panthers now entering their bye in Week 12, Tremble sports 13 receptions on 22 targets for 120 yards and a touchdown, adding another score on the ground as well.

NOVEMBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Makes two grabs Tremble caught both of his targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 27-21 loss to Washington.

Impact Tremble picked up first downs with both of his receptions, which went for 19 and 16 yards respectively. Combined, those grabs saw Tremble trail only Christian McCaffrey and DJ Moore in yards through the air, making for an efficient outing by his standards. The rookie will strive to maintain his impact as a complementary target in Week 12 versus the Dolphins.

NOVEMBER 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Another one-catch outing Tremble caught his only target for three yards in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Tremble played nearly 70 percent of Carolina's offensive snaps, but he primarily contributed from a run-blocking standpoint. The rookie is good for a catch or two per game but isn't featured enough to hold much fantasy value.

NOVEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Makes three grabs Tremble caught three of four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 19-13 win over the Falcons.

Impact Tremble trailed only DJ Moore for Carolina's team lead in receptions. Even though his overall production wasn't anything special, Tremble's catch total actually marked a new career best, an encouraging development for the rookie.

Catches two passes Tremble caught both of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 25-3 loss to the Giants.

Impact Tremble played over half of Carolina's offensive snaps and outperformed starter Ian Thomas, who didn't catch a pass Sunday. However, with minimal yardage overall, it still wasn't a very impactful display from the rookie, who now sports five receptions for 54 yards and has scored twice through his first seven games.

Catches successful conversion Tremble hauled in a two-point conversion but didn't catch either of his other two targets in Sunday's 34-28 overtime loss to the Vikings. He also rushed once for no yards.

Impact Tremble helped force overtime by tying the score with his two-point conversion catch with under a minute remaining. The rookie did little else, but it's at least encouraging that Tremble played only two offensive snaps fewer than starting tight end Ian Thomas on Sunday.

OCTOBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Finds end zone again Tremble caught two of four targets for 12 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Eagles.

Impact Tremble found space for a five-yard touchdown early on, marking the first receiving score of his career. The rookie third-rounder played at least 25 offensive snaps for the second straight game, enabling him to see his most targets so far despite still featuring behind starter Ian Thomas, who finished with four catches on five targets for 40 yards.

No catches Sunday Tremble didn't haul in his only target in Sunday's 36-28 loss to the Cowboys.

Impact The drop wasn't exactly his fault, as he took a massive hit from Damontae Kazee that drew a personal foul (defenseless receiver) flag as he tried to bring down the pass from San Darnold. Tremble played nearly 40 percent of Carolina's offensive snaps in the team's first game since trading fellow tight end Dan Arnold. Although that involvement didn't result in any catches for Tremble, the rookie third-rounder should benefit from a growing role alongside Ian Thomas over the course of the campaign.
