REPORT DATES: Rookies July 25th, Veterans July 25th

SITE: Wofford College, Spartanburg, SC

CAMP OBJECTIVES: With Brett Favre's name being thrown around regularly in relation to the Panthers, the pressure on Jake Delhomme and his surgically- repaired right elbow will become even greater as the team descends upon Spartanburg. If Delhomme breaks down, and Carolina fails to secure Favre's services, the Panthers' 2008 season could rest in the inexperienced hands of Brett Basanez or Matt Moore. Whoever plays quarterback will have to get in lock-step with a couple of new receiving options - D.J. Hackett (Seahawks) and prodigal son Muhsin Muhammad (Bears) - while simultaneously learning to work behind a revamped o-line. Fans might see more than was initially expected from first-round draft choice and rookie running back Jonathan Stewart (Oregon), who is rehabbing from offseason toe surgery but could be a full-go for camp. The biggest story on defense is up front, where newcomers Tyler Brayton (Raiders), Ian Scott (Eagles), and Darwin Walker (Bears) are all attempting to win jobs in the wake of Kris Jenkins' trade to the Jets.
