Tommy Tremble

From a surgery a year in the making, and a new baby at home, life has looked a lot different for Tommy Tremble over the past few months. But it's made the Panthers' tight end more ready than ever to be back on the field. 

The Carolina Panthers second year tight end has gone through the fire and come out the other side, more confident, more lithe, and more ready than ever for what's next. 

Ahead of the 2025 NFL draft, we'll preview each position, from where the Panthers currently sit, to some of the biggest names in the class. The TEs are led by Tyler Warren and Colston Loveland. 

It's rare for an NFL player to make it to Year 5. It's rarer still for four members of the same draft class to be here together. But Horn, Christensen, Tremble, and Hubbard are ready to build.

With a crew of super heroes in his corner, Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble returns on his second contract to fight for truth, justice and his family's way.

As the Panthers welcome the Chargers on Sunday, here are five things to watch, from the pass rush on both sides, to the return of a starter. 

With the tight end unit in flux ahead of the opener, rookies and practice squaders alike are preparing for Sunday as if they'll be called upon. Plus Clowney absence, coordinator updates, and more. 

Dave Canales said the "hope" is for starters to play Saturday vs. the Bills. What does that mean for the defensive side of the ball? Plus injury updates and more from Thursday's practice.

The Panthers held a light day of practice Monday, returning three notable names. The defense dominated, headlined by rookie Demani Richardson. 

The Panthers started out "flat" on Saturday. But a message from two important voices kicked things into gear. That, plus plans for roster changes and more. 

Tight end Tommy Tremble is no stranger to proving he belongs. As he does so in the final year of his rookie contract, he'll rely on the past that's gotten him here and a new offense that could benefit his position.

The tight end has been a solid special teams player all three seasons, but is developing as a pass-catcher as the offense starts to grow.

The pair of third-year Panthers have been close since they got here, and they're watching each other excel this season. 

The Panthers' second-year tight end is getting the chance to put smiles on fans' faces just like he experienced when he was younger. 

The second-year tight end could find more opportunities in an offense built for tight ends to make plays.

The team activated two from the list, getting key special teamer Brandon Zylstra back.
