The Carolina Panthers head back to the field on Monday as minicamp (the NFL likes to call them Organized Training Activities, we like to still call them minicamps) for their third straight week of practice.

   It appears likely camp will wrap up on Thursday, one week ahead of schedule.

   Of course, that's always the way. Coach John Fox always lets his players out a week early as a way of throwing them a bone for their hard work. Fox feels comfortable with how much has been installed during minicamp, so not much is expected to change.

   On Monday, I'll be writing about reserve running back Eric Shelton, who hopes a new offensive coordinator means a fresh start.
