Panthers' Chandler Zavala: Gets back on field
Zavala (knee) played 22 offensive snaps during Carolina's 19-10 preseason loss to the Steelers on Thursday, Kassidy Hill and Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site report.
Zavala missed much of training camp due to a knee injury, but he's managed to meet the goal that coach Dave Canales had previously set of returning in time for Carolina's preseason finale. The 2023 fourth-round pick is set to handle a backup role at guard this season, and he could be tasked with stepping up immediately if Damien Lewis (guard) is less than 100 percent for Week 1.

Zavala hurt his knee in late July and wasn't able to play in Carolina's first preseason contest this past Friday. It sounds like he'll miss this Saturday's contest against Houston as well, though the NC State product could be back for the team's third's preseason game. Zavala is slated to function in a rotational role at guard this season.

Panthers' Chandler Zavala: Dealing with knee injury
Head coach Dave Canales told reporters Tuesday that Zavala is considered "week-to-week" with a patella injury that he suffered during Monday's training camp practice, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
The injury puts Zavala in jeopardy of missing the Panthers' preseason opener against the Browns on Aug. 8. The 2023 fourth-rounder started in two games in 2024 and is expected to be Carolina's top backup offensive guard. Zavala's absence opens the door for Ja'Tyre Carter and Jarrett Kingston to get more reps at guard during practice and preseason games.
