Panthers say TE Darren Waller looks 'big and fast'

Sep 07, 2026

Asked how Darren Waller has looked, Dave Canales said: "Big and fast."

Related players: Tommy Tremble, Ja'Tavion Sanders

Fantasy Impact:

Person went on to say the Panthers used a slow ramp up with Waller this summer after his soft-tissue issues with the Dolphins coming off his one-yr retirement. But the veteran TE expects to be active Sunday vs. the Bears, Person added. Waller had some nice games last season getting back into action. He had six TDs in nine games, but those six TDs came in just four different contests. Waller averaged just 2.67 catches a game last year and had three or less catches in seven of his nine games. The Panthers TE situation seems like one to wait-and-see on, especially with a questionable passing game and QB situation. The Panthers have Tremble and Sanders on the roster as well.

For any worried Panthers fans out there, Jonathon Brooks seems to be moving well.

Fantasy Impact:

The video is about 28 seconds of Brooks working off to the side in practice, which has been a recent trend. He does appear to be moving fine in the video. Gaskins said HC Dave Canales and the team will evaluate the tape after practice and that we'd likely know more Wednesday when initial injury reports are released.

Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles told reporters last week that receivers Emeka Egbuka and Jalen McMillan were “headed in the right direction” as they deal with their respective injuries.

Both players took a step forward to start the week.

According to multiple reporters on the scene, Egbuka and McMillan both returned to practice on Monday — a positive sign for their Week 1 availability.

Related players: Chris Godwin, Tez Johnson, Ted Hurst

Fantasy Impact:

Egbuka has been dealing with a toe injury, while McMillan has a knee injury. It makes for a big impact on the Bucs WR depth chart as Egbuka is considered the team's WR1 and McMillan is in the mix for the WR3 spot with Johnson and the rookie Hurst, who is coming off a great camp and offseason.

Welcome back, Kyle Monangai. D’Andre Swift was also back at practice.

Fantasy Impact:

Monangai is back after missing a couple weeks with a hyperextended knee. Swift returns after leaving Thursday’s session due to cramping. Looks like the Bears RB duo will be set to go in Week 1. We rank Swift as a low-end RB2 heading into the season.
