The Carolina Panthers<\/a> were welcomed to Tuesday\u2019s organized team activities (OTA) workout by a short-lived rainstorm, which was followed by bright sunshine and heavy humidity. In a way, it was the perfect summation of a summer in Charlotte, and for the new guys in town \u2014 from free-agent additions like Jaelan Phillips and Devin Lloyd<\/a> to a seven-man draft class<\/a> \u2014 the workout served as an introduction to team drills outside of Bank of America Stadium as well.<\/p>\n

Those drills were quite sloppy to begin with. Following the afternoon shower, quarterback Bryce Young went out of his way to assert that the offense needed to clean up its early quirks, and he used some colorful language to get his point across<\/a>. Following Young\u2019s outspoken qualms, the offense began to function a bit more effectively, especially as the fourth-year quarterback began to target wideout David Moore throughout the workout.<\/p>\n

But there was an over-arching competitive vibe to the start of OTAs. Both sides of the ball made some plays and brought noticeable energy to the limited contact workout. Pro Bowl right guard Rob Hunt, who began his career in Miami, noted that his former Dolphins teammate, Phillips, has a tendency to bring that out in himself and his teammates.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll give you a little story,\u201d Hunt said with a smile. \u201cToday, we were getting ready to go out. And we always start with a walk-through. And we were all like, \u2018It\u2019s a walk-through. Take your time. Be smart.\u2019 And Jaelan said, \u2018Yeah it\u2019s walk-through.\u2019 And I said, \u2018Well, he\u2019s the one, guys. If there\u2019s anyone who\u2019s going to change the tempo, it\u2019s me.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd he was like, \u2018Yeah, it\u2019s me.\u2019 And that is him,\u201d Hunt added. \u201cHe\u2019s been that way since the day I met him. He only knows one speed. And I told everybody when we got him that he\u2019s who you want on your team. He\u2019s never going to change who he is. He\u2019s going to go full speed. So from today, from now, from first day until we\u2019re done playing. So, you gotta love what Jaelan stands for.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan (foot) and defensive tackle Bobby Brown (calf) attend practice but didn\u2019t participate in drills. According to head coach Dave Canales, both sat out with minor injuries to prevent further issues.<\/p>\n

Brown, according to Canales, was sidelined recently. He said he\u2019s excited about the opportunities Cam Jackson and second-round pick Lee Hunter are getting opposite Derrick Brown in the meantime.<\/p>\n

The team also worked without defensive end Turk Wharton (neck) and offensive tackle Ickey Ekwonu (knee), as expected. Wharton is recovering from recent neck surgery<\/a> he underwent earlier this month, while Ekwonu had patellar surgery shortly after the playoff loss to the Los Angeles Rams.<\/p>\n

Hunt noted that Ekwonu is handling his injury situation with an optimistic attitude.<\/p>\n

Trevin Wallace, who is coming off shoulder surgery<\/a>, wore a red practice jersey throughout Tuesday\u2019s workout. While he took part in team drills, Wallace wore the red top to avoid getting banged up by offensive linemen getting to the second level of the defense.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrevin is doing great,\u201d Canales said. \u201cHe had a procedure after the season. He\u2019s fully strong, all of those things. We want to be smart about that. The red jersey creates an awareness as the lineman are coming to block at the second level, let\u2019s just make sure, be smart. Trevin kind of knows as well to fit his area, be in position, but also be smart, there\u2019s just another level of protection for him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wallace is working with Lloyd at the inside linebacker spot. The big-money addition has been impressed with Wallace\u2019s wherewithal within the defense.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrevin\u2019s super sharp, really smart,\u201d Lloyd said. \u201cObviously, he\u2019s been in this defense for some time now, so he\u2019s very familiar with that. It\u2019s been really easy working with him. Encouraging. I look forward to him taking that next step in his career and having a great season. Obviously injuries have hindered his performance so it\u2019ll be great for him to be healthy and just have a season of 100% or as close to it as possible. But it\u2019s been great working with him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Running back Jonathon Brooks, who is recovering from back-to-back ACL surgeries<\/a>, galloped down the field \u2014 through traffic \u2014 following a screen pass in the middle of team drills. Brooks didn\u2019t look to be going full speed, but he showed excellent balance as he cut in and out of lanes on the wet field.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt brings me a lot of joy to see him out there,\u201d Canales said. \u201cDidn\u2019t see any hesitation. Just a lot of speed and decisiveness in how he ran the ball today. Got him on the perimeter on a screen and made some good yards on one of our screens today. And not just me, I think his teammates would say the same thing. I think they would be up here saying the same thing to see Jonathon doing what he loves to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Young\u2019s connection with Moore was commonplace during team drills. The duo completed several passes against the defense in 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills. Moore knows this offense as well as anyone, and he found holes in the coverage with regularity. For the most part, Young was looked efficient and accurate as well.<\/p>\n

Defensive back Tyrek Funderburk<\/a>, who is an Indian Trail, N.C., native, had a pass breakup to end practice. Linebacker Jared Bartlett also batted a ball from quarterback Kenny Pickett to an unknown target.<\/p>\n

Pickett also connected with a diving Ja\u2019seem Reed on a nice play by the wide receiver. Pickett overthrew the practice-squad holdover<\/a> by a smidgen, and Reed was able to lay out and haul in the ball.<\/p>\n

Third-round pick Chris Brazzell drew a pass interference penalty on a \u201cgo\u201d route against second-year cornerback Corey Thornton. Undrafted rookie cornerback Jaylon Guilbeau also had an impressive pass breakup in the slot against tight end James Mitchell, who is five inches taller.<\/p>\n
