OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD: PRE-SEASON VS. BILLS -- PANTHERS TO PLAY STARTERS - CANALES

Apparently ... The Panthers will play their starters for at least a few snaps or series' against the Bills this week. Canales has been "on the fence" about it, but his latest statement mentions his "hope" and apparent intent to make it happen. While the "hope" and "intent" are apparently there, there are still some vet players who may not see much, if any, playing time. Diontae Johnson has been a little 'sickly', so he has been quietly quarantined for a bit. Also Tommy Tremble is still getting his strength back and working back into playing shape, so he may be limited as well. There are some others who need the reps and some who probably don't, so there will be some mix and match going on as the team gets ready to go for Week One.
