The Carolina Panthers have announced their full training camp schedule for 2019. The biggest surprise is that they will be hosting the Buffalo Bills for two joint practice sessions for the final two practices of preceding their preseason game in Charlotte. Practice begins in Spartanburg on July 25th and runs until their last joint session with the Bills on August 14th.
The Bills were an obvious candidate with whom to hold joint practice sessions as their entire leadership structure is made up of people who almost made it in Charlotte. Former Panthers assistant general manager Brandon Beane is now the general manager in Buffalo and former Panthers defensive coordinator Sean McDermott is currently their head coach.
These are the first joint practice sessions the Panthers have held against an NFL team since the team’s magical, mythical 2015 season. This basically guarantees an NFC Championship this season. Since then, the team has held exhibition practices against several South Carolina High School squads and the Tennessee Titans.
