Despite a rain delay, the Carolina Panthers<\/a> got their work in on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Here are the top takeaways and observations from today’s session of training camp . . .<\/p>\n

State of the safety competition<\/p>\n

Carolina’s three coordinators hit the lectern this afternoon. The lineup started with defensive play-caller Ejiro Evero, who was asked about the current state of the safety competition between Nick Scott, Demani Richardson and Lathan Ransom.<\/p>\n

“I feel good, I feel good,” he replied<\/a>. “Those guys are doin’ a heck of a job. They’re improving, they’re growin’. Coach [Renaldo] Hill is doin’ a great, great job with them. And just kinda seeing what Demani [Richardson] is doin’, seeing what Lathan [Ransom] is doin’, seeing what Nick [Scott] is doin’\u2014it’s a lot of excellent work and growth from their standpoint. And so, it’s great. Competition makes the best of everybody, so we’re seeing that come to life.”<\/p>\n

Scott seems to have the advantage for now, as he was listed as the second starter on the first unofficial depth chart alongside free-agent signee Tre’von Moehrig.<\/p>\n

‘NFL kickers’<\/p>\n

Special teams coordinator Tracy Smith talked about the kicking competition between veteran journeyman Matthew Wright and undrafted rookie Ryan Fitzgerald.<\/p>\n

“Both guys are doin’ a really nice job,” Smith stated<\/a>. “Both made their kicks in the game\u2014that’s the most important part of it. And we’re gonna keep going forward in the same way until it’s time to figure it out.”<\/p>\n

Wright made an extra point try in the first quarter of Friday’s preseason opener against the Cleveland Browns. Fitzgerald later booted through a 32-yard field goal late in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

Smith was later asked if he thinks the Panthers have their answer in at least one of the two competitors. He stated that he believes they have “NFL kickers” on the team.<\/p>\n

Tuesday’s outing saw Wright convert on four of his five attempts on the skinny posts.<\/p>\n

One-handed Horn<\/p>\n

Cornerback Jaycee Horn, whose thumb remains stitched up from last week’s car crash<\/a>, was a limited participant in practice. He was seen using one hand while taking part in individual drills.<\/p>\n

He was later asked about his status at the moment.<\/p>\n

“I’m good,” he stated<\/a>. “Just had to get some stitches. When I get them out, I’ll be ready to roll.”<\/p>\n

Horn added that he’s unsure if he’ll play in Saturday’s preseason matchup with the Houston Texans.<\/p>\n
