Panthers Highlights: Tommy Tremble secures first TD on a bullet from P.J. Walker

When today’s starting lineups were released, we knew the Carolina Panthers rookies were going to have their chances.

Terrace Marshall Jr. almost made the absolute most of his first one on a 60-yard catch-and-run. Then, the next pair of baby Panthers would step up soon after.

On Carolina’s fifth offensive possession of the game, running back Chuba Hubbard finally broke through on a slippery 59-yard run after being denied throughout much of the first half.

That big run, which put the offense at the Indianapolis 23-yard line, would help set up a 7-yard touchdown strike from quarterback P.J. Walker that wound up in the hands of an another rookie, tight end Tommy Tremble.

Tremble’s score, the first of his professional career, gave the Panthers a 15-3 lead with 1:56 remaining in the second quarter.
