The matchup between the Panthers and Bills will be broadcast live starting at 1 p.m. on WFMY.
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The Carolina Panthers wrap up the 2024 preseason Saturday afternoon against the Bills.
The game will be broadcast live on our air starting at 1 p.m.
Saturday will mark the first time that several Carolina starters — including quarterback Bryce Young — make their season debuts. Head coach Dave Canales shared this info after practice Thursday, but he didn’t share exactly how many snaps the first-stringers will play against Buffalo.
Carolina is 0-2 so far in the preseason, but the team hopes to turn things around in the regular season after going a league-worst 2-15 in 2023. The Panthers had a solid defensive unit, ranking fourth in the league in yards allowed per game, but their offense was one of the NFL’s worst units last season.
Young finished his rookie year completing 59.8% of his passes for 2,877 yards and 11 touchdowns against 10 interceptions. Carolina went out of its way to bring in some receiving talent this offseason — trading for Diontae Johnson and drafting Xavier Legette — to try and give Young more confidence.
The Panthers open the regular season Sep. 8 on the road against the New Orleans Saints. The team’s first home game of 2024 comes on Sep. 15 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
