Tremble (hamstring) said Wednesday that he hopes to be ready for the Panthers' Sept. 8 season opener against the Saints, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Tremble and Ian Thomas (calf) have been out for much of August, leaving rookie fourth-round pick Ja'Tavion Sanders as the only healthy tight end on Carolina's initial 53-man roster. Sanders is also the most likely of the bunch to emerge as a major receiving threat, but Tremble and/or Thomas could get significant playing time early in the season due to their advantages in blocking and experience.
