While the Panthers may have received a bit of a setback with the news that cornerback Bene Benwikere will begin training camp on the PUP list, Carolina did get some good news with two other key components.

Wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin and linebacker Luke Kuechly have both been given the "all-clear" to fully participate in training camp, according to head coach Ron Rivera. Benjamin is returning from a torn ACL suffered last preseason, while Kuechly had offseason shoulder surgery and was held out of contact in minicamps.

Rivera said the team will still be cautious with their return and attempt to stay away from pushing the limits as they work their way back into football shape.

"We're going to bring guys accordingly along," Rivera said. "We're not just going to throw guys out there just because they've been given the all-go that haven't been on the field. Then all of sudden they're going from 25 miles per hour to 100 miles per hours, so we're going to be judicious with the young men."
