Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule talked about wanting the team's defense to go from good to great in 2022. Despite ranking second in total defense the Panthers 2021 defensive unit struggled to get stops in the red zone and force takeaways. One player who has emerged early in Training Camp is CJ Henderson. Henderson's comfort and play-making in Phil Snow's defensive scheme could allow for Jaycee Horn's versatility to show. Is Henderson the key to taking the Panthers defense from good to great? Could Henderson, Horn, and Donte Jackson form the best cornerback trio in the NFL?

The QB competition continues in Carolina. According to Ellis Williams of the Charlotte Observer, Baker Mayfield has strung together back-to-back strong days in comparison to Sam Darnold to start Week 2 of camp. Could Mayfield be pulling away already?

Plus, updates on Jaycee Horn, Dameon Wilson's legal issues, the healthy of Keith Taylor, and the absence of a player expected to be on the roster bubble.
