Some observations from Monday night's practice:

   1. Dwayne Jarrett was carted off the field, but the injury doesn't appear serious (see Camp Wrap).

   2. Veteran Terrence Holt really enjoys playing. On Monday night he intercepted a Matt Moore pass and took it to the end zone. He celebrated for fans by crossing his arms over his chest.

   3. Tight end Chris Conklin made a nice juggling catch in the end zone. The ball hit off two players before coming to rest in Conklin's hands.

   4. I'm not sure if Muhsin Muhammad has found the fountain of youth, but he really looks great at practice. Honestly. He looks fast, strong and is playing like a man that is 25, not 35.

   5. After Jarrett's injury the Panthers were suddenly without four of their top five receivers -- Steve Smith, D.J. Hackett, Ryne Robinson and Jarrett. That meant Muhammad worked with the first team alongside Jason Carter.

   Some observations from Monday morning's practice:

   1. Receiver Steve Smith suffered a concussion in Saturday night's win over the Colts and was held out of practice on Monday morning. Smith suffered the injury on a 19-yard reception from Matt Moore. Coach John Fox said Smith is day-to-day.

   2. Jon Beason and Damione Lewis were back at practice, meaning the Panthers are only without three defensive starters now.

   3. The Panthers still have a number of players out including cornerbacks Ken Lucas and Chris Gamble, defensive tackle Ian Scott, receivers D.J. Hackett and Ryne Robinson, tight ends Dante Rosarion and Gary Barnidge and safety Chris Harris. Of those, Robinson and Scott are expected to be out the longest.

   4. Today is Carolina's last two-a-day practice. Coach Fox said practices will be fairly light this week. The Panthers worked in shorts on Monday morning.

  5. The play of the day came courtesy of tight end Chad Upshaw, who caught a long pass down the middle from Matt Moore for a score. Upshaw, who wears No. 85, beat Landon Johnson on the play. One of his teammates shouted, "Way to go, Ocho Cinco!"
