How to watch NY Jets vs. Panthers Preseason Week 2 with or without cable

The Carolina Panthers are gearing up for their second preseason engagement before the 2024 campaign. Head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan should have a good indication of how their initial 53-man roster might look when Week 1 at the New Orleans Saints rolls around. However, there's a growing belief among fans that the new front-office leader will be extremely active on the waiver wire holding the No. 1 priority.

There's still time for players fighting for roster spots to change their narratives and improve their chances of carving out roles. It remains to be seen how many starters from Carolina and the New York Jets will participate following a joint practice that was hard-fought with plenty of physicality attached, but it should be an intriguing contest nonetheless.

Robert Saleh's men harbor big ambitions for the upcoming campaign. They have legendary quarterback Aaron Rodgers back under center, dynamic weapons everywhere you look at the skill positions on offense, and one of the NFL's most explosive young defenses at their disposal.

This will be a solid measuring stick for the Panthers - one that will play an important role in roster evaluations with final cuts on the immediate horizon.
