Canales doubled down on his answer of the age old question earlier this week of whether he’ll play his starters. Also, who will call the plays in the preseason?

Speaking to the media prior to practice, head coach Kevin Stefanski has stated that only two quarterbacks will play on Friday night: Shedeur Sanders and Tyler Huntley. The head coach has stated that "by and large" most starters will not play in the preseason opener as they get their work in against the Panthers in these two joint practices.

The Carolina Panthers just signed Jaycee Horn to a $100 million extension, partly because he changed things up and was able to stay healthy for most of the season, missing only the final two relatively meaningless games. To lose him before even one game on said extension would be brutal.
