The team has been there since Tuesday and held a joint practice with the Jaguars the following day. They\u2019ll be wheels up shortly after tonight\u2019s game goes final.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Something special\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jyMHRV body-paragraph\">Wednesday\u2019s workout also offered a sneak peek at what training camp could look like next season for the Panthers. The Jaguars\u2019 practice facility, which opened in 2023, features an indoor field with two outdoor fields next to it. That setup allowed the team to warm up inside and put in work outside.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jyMHRV body-paragraph\">\u201cYou hear the crowd, noise, when something positive happens for the Jags,\u201d Panthers head coach Dave Conales said. \u201cFor us, we make a big play, it was kind of quiet. That\u2019s what it\u2019s like being on the road. Kind of cool, and I remember it being that way during our training camp, so hopefully we can get our situation set up, get people back out there to bring that energy because it really brought out something special in the guys.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" alt=\"\" class=\"c-image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/https:\/\/d1hfln2sfez66z.cloudfront.net\/08-21-2026\/t_150e25c932554b3c85c81118fbbf6ca2_name_VO_PANTHERS.jpeg\"  width=\"800\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"ImageMetadata__MetadataParagraph-sc-1htor29-0 jibCgM image-metadata\">Panthers vs. Jaguars: LB Devin Lloyd <\/p>\n<p>\u2018Consistency\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jyMHRV body-paragraph\">During training, things probably got a little strange for Panthers linebacker Devin Lloyd, who spent his entire NFL career with Jacksonville before joining Carolina.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jyMHRV body-paragraph\">This week, though, he walked straight into the visitors\u2019 locker room.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jyMHRV body-paragraph\">Lloyd said it was nostalgic to return and see his former teammates, but he\u2019s a Panther now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jyMHRV body-paragraph\">Lloyd is wearing the green dot on defense, meaning he\u2019s in communication with the defensive coordinator and responsible for getting everyone lined up and organized.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jyMHRV body-paragraph\">So far, he\u2019s been as good as advertised.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jyMHRV body-paragraph\">Lloyd recorded three tackles in just 13 snaps during last week\u2019s preseason game against Buffalo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jyMHRV body-paragraph\">He\u2019s already set a high standard for this defense, which he says has even more talent than the group he faced a year ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jyMHRV body-paragraph\">\u201cI don\u2019t know what it was like, per se, that team last year,\u201d Lloyd said. \u201cI know they talked about just consistency: one game not playing up to their standard, one game playing great now. Being with these guys in this locker room, you can definitely see the talent (we are) upholding that standard every day, harping on being consistent, coming out and giving great effort every day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" alt=\"\" class=\"c-image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/https:\/\/d1hfln2sfez66z.cloudfront.net\/08-21-2026\/t_ee04157ac276408c9c95de6c117d1d22_name_VO_PANTHERS.jpeg\"  width=\"800\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"ImageMetadata__MetadataParagraph-sc-1htor29-0 jibCgM image-metadata\">Panthers vs. Jaguars: QB Bryce Young <\/p>\n<p>\u2018Super proud\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jyMHRV body-paragraph\">Quarterback Bryce Young is proving to be an early leader again this preseason.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jyMHRV body-paragraph\">His team got good work in and stayed healthy at the joint practice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jyMHRV body-paragraph\">\u201cSlow start, but I was super proud of how the guys settled in,\u201d Bryce said. \u201cI think that for us, it\u2019s just being able to refocus knowing it\u2019s not the end of the world, but we have to have that sense of urgency, try to relay that to the guys, as well as doing that amongst themselves, and once we settled in we did some good stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jyMHRV body-paragraph body-copyright\">\u00a92026 Cox Media Group<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA \u2014 The Carolina Panthers beat the Jacksonville Jaguars Friday night by a score of 34-17.
