CHARLOTTE, N.C -- Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble was in full stride early during team drills on Wednesday when he caught a pass on a crossing route and turned up field for a big play. On the next play, tight end Ian Thomas caught a pass over the middle for a solid gain.
The trend continued later.
Tight ends making plays has been anything but a trend for Carolina the past four seasons.
"We've been kind of in purgatory for a little bit,'' said Tremble, a third-round pick out of Notre Dame in 2021.
