After a long off-season, the start of the 2025 NFL season is officially here, with the Eagles set to host the Cowboys on Thursday night, the Chiefs and Chargers will meet in Brazil on Friday, before a full slate of games on Sunday, as another football season is upon us. The Panthers will open the season against the Jaguars, the same opponent they opened with back in 2003 and 2015, the two years that led to the only Super Bowl appearances in franchise history. While going to the Super Bowl isn’t realistic, there is pressure on the organization to take the next step this year, under the watchful eyes of Dan Morgan and Dave Canales.

Earlier this morning on the Mac & Bone Show, Panthers beat reporter Darin Gantt joined the program to preview Sunday’s opener, as he talks about the state of the OL going into the game against Jacksonville, he talks about the unique challenge preparing for Travis Hunter, expectations for Bryce Young, and more.
