CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Perhaps no team is in need of off-season practices more than the NFL-worst Carolina Panthers. After falling behind their division rivals, the Panthers finally gathered Tuesday for their first player-organized workout since the lockout began. They also did their best to make sure no one saw them.
Players hired a police officer to shoo away reporters from the high school where they were working out on the hot, humid morning. Cones blocked another entrance to the field at Charlotte Christian. Left tackle Jordan Gross, who organized the two weeks of practices with left guard Travelle Wharton, said reporters wouldn't be allowed in until the last day June 9 to prevent distractions.
"We're just trying to prepare to win some football games," said Gross, who wouldn't reveal the number of players on hand.
CARRY ON
