The Carolina Panthers began preparations for their Week 1 matchup vs. the Cleveland Browns on Monday. Panthers head coach Matt Rhule spoke to the media providing his thoughts on Baker Mayfield facing his former team, how they'll help rookie left tackle Ickey Ekwonu, and the plan for Christian McCaffrey. Will McCaffrey's work rate be as high as the past two seasons?

Last week, the Panthers added depth to the wide receiver group while neglecting the defensive line. Panthers GM Scott Fitterer made good on his desire to add a defensive end to stop the run by signing eight-year veteran Henry Anderson. Is Anderson the missing piece to the Panthers defensive line?

Plus. Julian highlights three Panthers that he's interested in seeing how they perform on Sunday vs. Cleveland.
