–In the following two-minute drill featuring second-teamers, Grier hit wide receiver Chris Hogan on a skinny post between safeties Rashaan Gaulden and Colin Jones. Hogan finished with flair, finger-rolling the ball over the goalpost.

–Heinicke has gotten limited reps throughout camp, but he made the most of what he got Monday, including completions to Andrew Levrone and then Damion Jeanpiere down the right sideline on consecutive throws.

–The catch of the day again went to Samuel, who reached over cornerback Javien Elliott to grab a pass from Allen in the back corner of the end zone.

– Hogan tried to one-up that by attempting a one-hand grab on a bullet from Grier in the opposite corner, but it was knocked away by cornerback Cole Luke. "They tried to 'play-of-the-day you!'" Jackson told Luke.

–In a late red zone drill, Grier was picked by linebacker Antoine Williams, but on the next play, the rookie quarterback found tight end Chris Manhertz for a score. Those two hooked up again for another touchdown a few plays later.

–Rivera revealed Joey Slye, who impressed last week in Chicago, will handle kicks against the Bills. Graham Gano is dealing with soreness in his plant leg, and partly because kickers are so hard to find, the Panthers are going to be cautious with theirs.

"You have to be really careful with that because you don't want it to pop up. Now you're out there scrambling," Rivera said. "We're very fortunate that Joey was out there and he's done a great job for us. We have to be careful with Graham going forward. We've got Joey here, we're going to let Joey kick for at least one more game and we'll go from there."
