Panthers' Tetairoa McMillan: On track for training camp
The Carolina Panthers expect Tetairoa McMillan (ankle) to be ready for the start of training camp, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.McMillan missed some time during OTAs due to what was initially labeled a foot issue, but it is now being dubbed ankle soreness. He participated in practice during the first day of mandatory minicamp Tuesday, but per Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340, the 2025 first-rounder is not dressed for practice Wednesday. McMillan himself said Wednesday that he currently feels good and expects to be ready for training camp in July, Kaye reports, an indication that his reps at minicamp may simply be being capped as a precaution. According to Joe Person of The Athletic, head coach Dave Canales said that Carolina's plan is for McMillan to take part in two of the team's three minicamp practices, so the wideout should be back on the field Thursday.

Panthers' Tetairoa McMillan: Remains idle with foot injury
Tetairoa McMillan (foot) remains sidelined for Tuesday's practice, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.McMillan's injury isn't believed to be serious, and his absence seems more precautionary than anything else. If the wideout is still sidelined when training camp rolls around in July, however, there will be reason for genuine concern.

Panthers' Tetairoa McMillan: May be dealing with minor injury
Tetairoa McMillan worked with the training staff Tuesday while his teammates practiced on the first day of OTAs, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.The wideout's likely dealing with a minor injury, as he seemed to finish his rookie season healthy and wasn't reported to have needed offseason surgery. McMillan played all 18 of Carolina's games last year, including a playoff loss, and he was named the 2025 Offensive Rookie of the Year for his efforts as a 1,000-yard receiver. He's locked in as the centerpiece of Carolina's passing game, with the team's most significant offseason addition to the unit being athletic but unpolished third-round pick Chris Brazzell.

Panthers' Tetairoa McMillan: Named top rookie
Tetairoa McMillan was named the 2025 Offensive Rookie of the Year on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.The Carolina Panthers selected McMillan with the eighth overall pick in the 2025 Draft, and he quickly emerged as Carolina's top pass catcher. Even with inconsistent quarterback play and low pass volume in the offense, McMillan topped 1,000 receiving yards in 17 regular-season games while reaching 100 yards in two separate contests. He could face similar obstacles in 2026, but McMillan will remain a key part of the offense and should earn plenty of targets.

Panthers' Tetairoa McMillan: Solid showing in loss
Tetairoa McMillan brought in four of six targets for 85 yards and lost a fumble in the Carolina Panthers' 16-14 loss to the Buccaneers on Saturday.McMillan paced the Panthers in receiving yards while checking in second to Jalen Coker in both receptions and targets. McMillan's lost fumble came on Carolina's desperation lateral-heavy final play, when he lost the handle at his own 36-yard line to quell any chance of an extremely longshot bid to score a touchdown with no time remaining. McMillan did manage to get over the 1,000-yard mark for the season with his production, finishing his first NFL regular campaign with a 70-1,014-7 line while appearing in all 17 games. If the Falcons are able to defeat the Saints on Sunday, McMillan will also have his first NFL postseason appearance to look forward to in next weekend's wild-card round.
