Some observations from Wednesday's practice:
1. Several players ditched their uniforms after the morning practice and headed straight to their cars -- without even showering -- in order to get back to Charlotte as soon as possible. Among those leading the parade out of town was defensive lineman Maake Kemoeatu.
2. Ten players will not make the trip to Philadelphia. They are receivers Steve Smith, D.J. Hackett, Ryne Robinson and Dwayne Jarrett, tight ends Dante Rosario and Gary Barnidge, defensive tackle Ian Scott, safety Chris Harris and cornerbacks Chris Gamble and Ken Lucas.
3. The Panthers went through a light walkthrough on Wednesday morning, then ran off the field. The players were headed back to Charlotte. They had to be at the stadium at 3:45 p.m. for the bus ride to the airport.
4. The Panthers are under contract only one more year to Wofford College to host training camp, but sources close to the situation said the team isn't going anywhere, which means you can expect Spartanburg to be part of Carolina's long-term summer future.
5. Overall, coach John Fox was pleased with training camp. "It was a good camp. It was short, but it was sweet. Like always there are always tougher times than others, but we worked through it. I like the script so far."
6. The starters will play into the second quarter Thursday night against the Eagles. Jake Delhomme will get most of the reps with the first team, Fox said.
