With the Carolina Panthers set to report to training camp this week, it’s time to take a look at the lay of the land.

Which players are sure to make it through the summer and onto the team’s initial 53-man roster? Are there any wild-card candidates who can leave a lasting impression in the coming weeks? And which battles are worth keeping an eye on?

Here is our training camp preview for the Panthers’ wide receiver position:

Roster locks

The Panthers, for the first time in franchise history, have now spent back-to-back first-round picks on wideouts. McMillan could be the true No. 1 target for quarterback Bryce Young while Legette will try to find his way after an underwhelming rookie campaign.

Thielen, who turns 35 years old in late August, is back for the third and final season of his contract. He led Carolina in receiving over the first two, with 1,014 yards in 2023 and 615 yards in 2024.

Coker may very well be Thielen’s successor at the slot position. Like the savvy veteran, the 23-year-old youngster is a sound route technician with sure hands.

Likely to make it

Moore’s connection with head coach Dave Canales, whom he also played under in Seattle and Tampa Bay, is strong. He proved to be a useful weapon for Young towards the end of 2024 as well, recording 35 targets over the team’s final seven outings.

Horn seems to have a high-profile connection too, but with president of football operations and general manager Dan Morgan. Plus, there may not be another receiver on this roster who has the speed that Horn does—as evidenced by his eye-opening display in the spring.

On the bubble

Renfrow missed the entire 2024 season due to a rough bout with ulcerative colitis. The Myrtle Beach, S.C. native, University of Clemson product and former Pro Bowler has an outside chance to complete a feel-good NFL comeback.

Battle to watch

David Moore vs. Hunter Renfrow

If Renfrow does finish his story, he might have to do so at the expense of Moore. But Moore’s past with Canales and his experience on special teams will give him the upper hand.

Potential sleeper

Speaking of Canales and special teams, the second-year play-caller certainly values the ability to play in the third phase of the game. And that will benefit Chisena—who could step up as a leader for the unit following the offseason departures of safety Sam Franklin Jr. and tight end Feleipe Franks.
