The Panthers opened the 2021 preseason against the Colts in a game where zero Panthers starters saw any action. P.J. Walker started the game at quarterback and played the entire first half, and Will Grier took the reigns for the second half.
Overall, it was a tale of two halves. The first half was pretty good as the second and third units played well against the Colts, and the Panthers had a 15-10 lead at halftime. The second half was less fun, as the bottom of the roster players played a half full of blown assignments, costly penalties and badly executed offensive plays.
