Look: Panthers rookies report to training camp on Tuesday

Summer break is officially over for the Carolina Panthers . . . well, at least for their rookies.

On Tuesday, the team's first-year players reported back to Charlotte for the start of 2026 training camp. The Panthers provided quite a few shots of the youngsters arriving to their facility this morning.

Take a look . . .

Headlining the group is offensive tackle Monroe Freeling, Carolina's first-round pick from the 2026 NFL Draft. The 21-year-old Georgia product already received praise from head coach Dave Canales coming out of spring workouts.

“I’ve seen him learn how fast this thing moves up front and what it’s like to try to block Derrick Brown on the backside of a run, and how right that first step has to be,” Canales said of Freeling. “I’ve also seen him be really comfortable in space and pass pro because how big and athletic he is. Holds the point in the run game when we run at him.”

Panthers veterans will follow up the rooks and report to camp on Wednesday.
