Canales remained intentionally non-committal on the starting role, calling it a "good problem to have," but confirmed Dowdle "will be a big part of what we’re doing" moving forward.   COACHING CULTURE: Canales doubled down on his philosophical leadership approach by declaring himself the "common denominator" in the team's overall execution, committing to internal evaluation and ensuring the coaching staff prepares the players for success . He also praised Bryce Young’s "consistency" and ability to maintain composure and energy after making mistakes.   INJURY AND ROSTER UPDATES: Canales provided key updates on returning players:The 21-day practice window will open this week for veteran offensive lineman Austin Corbett, who needs to prove he "can handle the physical load".   Wide receiver Jalen Coker is "really close" to returning, with this week being critical for proving his physical readiness.   The Panthers now look ahead to their Week 7 road contest against the New York Jets.   Sources and related content
