News

  • Given permission to seek trade

    The Panthers are allowing Bridgewater to talk with other teams to facilitate a potential trade, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The Sam Darnold trade didn't remove all of Bridgewater's leverage, as he still has a $10 million guarantee on his $17 million base salary for 2021. That means there's some chance he sticks around in Carolina, even if it's ultimately as a backup to Darnold. The Panthers seemingly prefer to trade Bridgewater, but that might be easier said than done at this point in the offseason.

  • Next domino to fall?

    Bridgewater could be traded after the Panthers acquired QB Sam Darnold on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The Panthers could instead ask Bridgewater to adjust his contract, though a $10 million guarantee on his $17 million base salary gives the quarterback an awful lot of leverage in negotiations. If he does end up staying in Carolina, he'll likely be given an opportunity to compete with Darnold for the starting job.

  • Gets vote of confidence

    Head coach Matt Rhule said Wednesday that Bridgewater (ankle) is "having a tremendous offseason" and currently remains the Panthers' top quarterback, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Rhule's comments run contrary to popular speculation surrounding the Panthers this offseason, which has been that the team would look to upgrade at the quarterback position either in free agency or the 2021 NFL Draft. As David Newton of ESPN.com notes, Bridgewater's name had reportedly been floated as part of a potential deal for Matthew Stafford, who ultimately landed with the Rams. Bridgewater's contract doesn't have a potential 'out' until after 2021, so he could certainly be back with…read more

  • Hurts ankle in finale

    Bridgewater was replaced by P.J. Walker in Sunday's season-ending 33-7 loss to New Orleans, and coach Matt Rhule revealed after the game that Bridgewater's exit was due to an ankle injury, Bill Voth of the Panthers' official site reports. Prior to his exit, Bridgewater completed 13 of 23 passes for 176 yards and two interceptions while adding seven yards on three rushing attempts.

    Analysis: Bridgewater played poorly prior his removal and Walker was even worse, completing just five of 14 passes with three interceptions. With a 1:3 TD:INT over the final four weeks, Bridgewater struggled down the stretch of his first season with the Panthers, but his contract from last offseason figures to ensure he's in Carolina for at least another year, whether as starter, backup or a bridge quarterback to a potential draft pick. Overall, the 28-year-old finishes the year with 3,733 passing yards,…read more

  • Manages Panthers to win

    Bridgewater completed 19 of 28 pass attempts for 197 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Week 16 against Washington.

    Analysis: The Panthers didn't need Bridgewater to do much to secure a victory, instead taking advantage of miscues by Washington. Bridgewater wasn't without mistakes of his own, throwing an interception and fumbling twice -- one of which was lost. His lone touchdown of the day came on a 14-yard pass just before halftime. Bridgewater and the Panthers will close the season with a Week 17 matchup against the Saints.

  • Solid in Week 15 defeat

    Bridgewater completed 21 of 35 passes for 258 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the Panthers' 24-16 loss to the Packers on Saturday night. He also rushed four times for 26 yards and a score while losing a fumble.

    Analysis: Bridgewater extended a theme that's been a recurring one for him through what is now a 10-loss season for the Panthers -- putting together a solid stat line in defeat. The veteran was able to work around three sacks and six quarterback hits overall to connect with the returning DJ Moore on six occasions for a team-high 131 yards, but he ultimately went just 1-for-3 on Carolina's last-gasp drive, which started deep in own territory and never advanced past the 26-yard line. Bridgewater also…read more

  • Logs rushing score in Week 14 loss

    Bridgewater completed 30 of 40 pass attempts for 283 yards, adding three carries for 31 rushing yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 32-27 loss to the Broncos.

    Analysis: The 28-year-old's fantasy value has been boosted by three rushing scores over his past four outings, but he remains less than explosive as a thrower, with zero outings of three-plus passing TDs all season. Worse yet for his outlook within the organization, Carolina has dropped seven consecutive Bridgewater starts after kicking off the year 3-2. The sliding Panthers will now aim to recalibrate on a short week before traveling to Green Bay to take on the Packers' 12th-ranked pass defense Saturday…read more

  • Healthy after bye week

    Bridgewater isn't listed on the Panthers' initial Week 14 injury report released Wednesday.

    Analysis: Bridgewater appeared to be banged up near the end of Carolina's last game, a 28-27 loss to the Vikings in Week 12. He's apparently healthy after a bye week, but two of his top three receivers (DJ Moore and Curtis Samuel) are on the reserve/COVID-19 list, and running back Christian McCaffrey (thigh/shoulder) is looking uncertain for Sunday's matchup with Denver.

  • Nearly leads memorable comeback

    Bridgewater completed 19 of 36 passes for 267 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Panthers' 28-27 loss to the Vikings on Sunday. He also rushed twice for 12 yards and appeared to leave the game after the last offensive play with an undisclosed injury, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Bridgewater's return to Minnesota had a bit of everything in it, including what came close to qualifying as a memorable comeback. The veteran quarterback was able to hit Robby Anderson on a crossing route for his one touchdown throw and also connected with Curtis Samuel on a clutch 35-yard completion during the Panthers' last-gasp drive that culminated with a missed 54-yard field-goal attempt by Joey Slye with one second remaining. Bridgewater limped off the field after taking a hit on his…read more

  • Good to go

    Bridgewater (knee) will play in Sunday's game at Minnesota, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: A full practice participant throughout the week, Bridgewater will reclaim the starting job after P.J. Walker filled in for last Sunday's win over the Lions. Bridgewater gets a decent matchup against the Vikings, who have allowed the 12th-most fantasy points to QBs this season.

  • Should play this week

    Bridgewater (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, with coach Matt Rhule saying after the session that he expects the veteran quarterback to play in Sunday's game against Minnesota, Bill Voth of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Bridgewater's impending return to the lineup doesn't come as a major surprise after he was nearly cleared to play ahead of Sunday's win over the Lions. His mobility might be a bit limited while he shakes off the knee injury, but the Panthers seem confident Bridgewater will end up missing just the one game.

  • Should practice Wednesday

    Coach Matt Rhule said Monday that he expects Bridgewater to participate in Wednesday's practice, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Bridgewater logged a trio of limited practice sessions last week but was a late scratch for Sunday's win over Detroit, and P.J. Walker ultimately was Carolina's starting quarterback. Considering Bridgewater was expected to play Sunday despite a sprained MCL in his right knee, he has a decent chance to return to action Week 12 against the Vikings.

  • Now inactive for Sunday's game

    Bridgewater (knee) is inactive Sunday against the Lions, leaving P.J. Walker as the Panthers' starting quarterback, Bill Voth of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Bridgewater initially was reported to be active, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, but the Panthers quickly changed course and included him on their inactive list. With Bridgewater on the sideline due to a sprained MCL in his right knee, the team will go with Walker under center and Will Grier as his backup.

  • Available Sunday

    Bridgewater (knee) is listed as active Sunday against the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Bridgewater's availability was in limbo due to a MCL sprain in his right knee, which he sustained last Sunday versus the Buccaneers. He was limited in practice all week as a result, but after a pair of pregame warmups he cleared the final hurdle to play. Assuming he also gets the starting nod, Bridgewater will look to exploit a Detroit defense that ranks 24th against the pass (258.4 yards per game).

  • Remains game-time call

    Bridgewater (knee), who is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, is expected to have his availability for the contest determined by a pregame workout, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The 28-year-old took snaps during Saturday's walkthrough session and wants to play, but he'll still need to test out his right knee ahead of Sunday's contest. P.J. Walker or Will Grier would start at quarterback for the Panthers if Bridgewater can't suit up versus the Lions.

  • Optimism for Sunday

    Bridgewater (knee) went through some practice work Saturday, and there's some optimism about his availability for Sunday's game against the Lions, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The 28-year-old was a limited participant at practice all week, but he apparently showed some progress during Saturday's session to improve his outlook. Bridgewater should still be considered a game-time decision, and how his knee responds Sunday morning is set to be the determining factor in his status. Will Grier or P.J. Walker are both in the mix to start should Bridgewater be unavailable.

    Bridgewater (knee) is listed as questionable on the Panthers' final injury report, with head coach Matt Rhule saying the quarterback likely will be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with the Lions, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Reports after Thursday's practice were pessimistic, but Bridgewater apparently looked better Friday while participating in a limited capacity for the third straight day. Rhule is avoiding the question of who will start at quarterback in the event Bridgewater is inactive, saying Friday that he isn't ready to declare either P.J. Walker or Will Grier as the replacement. It's a tricky situation for fantasy managers to navigate, but a 1 p.m. ET kickoff at least makes things a little easier, with…read more

  • Could still play this week

    The Panthers remain hopeful that Bridgewater (knee) will be able to start Sunday's game against the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: A report Thursday suggested the veteran quarterback was unlikely to play, but he apparently looked better Friday, potentially putting him on track to carry a questionable designation into Sunday's game. The Panthers haven't clarified whom might start at quarterback if Bridgewater can't play, as the team has both P.J. Walker and Will Grier on its roster.

    Bridgewater (knee) appears unlikely to start for the Panthers in Sunday's game against the Lions, sources tell Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero.

    Analysis: While the report notes that a final call on Bridgewater's Week 11 status hasn't been made, the quarterback doesn't seem to be trending in the right direction after he was limited in practices Wednesday and Thursday. When asked Thursday about how Bridgewater was coming along in his recovery from an MCL sprain, head coach Matt Rhule said wasn't willing to rule the signal-caller out for Week 11, though he admitted that Bridgewater was "extremely limited" in the aforementioned practices, according…read more

After Thursday's session, coach Matt Rhule told Bill Voth of the Panthers' official site that Bridgewater is "extremely limited now, but he's moving around well" and "hasn't really opened up yet.

    Bridgewater (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The Panthers are expected to manage Bridgewater's reps in practice all week while he recovers from an MCL sprain in his right knee, an injury he suffered in the team's Week 10 loss to the Buccaneers. More clarity on Bridgewater's status heading into this weekend's game against Detroit should arrive at the conclusion of Friday's practice, but if he can't go, either P.J. Walker or Will Grier would be in store for their first start of the season.

  • Limited at Wednesday's practice

    Bridgewater (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday.

    Analysis: As expected, the Panthers capped Bridgewater's reps as the team kicked off preparations for a Week 11 matchup with the Lions. There's a decent chance he maintains this activity level all week to keep pressure off the MCL sprain in his right knee. Assuming the Panthers opt to keep Bridgewater sidelined Sunday, coach Matt Rhule will have a decision to make between reserves P.J. Walker and Will Grier at quarterback.

    Bridgewater (knee) is slated to be a limited practice participant Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Coach Matt Rhule expressed hope that Bridgewater would be on the field Wednesday, and now the quarterback's activity has been forecast. The MCL sprain in Bridgewater's right knee isn't considered to be significant, so taking part in drills to start Week 11 prep seemingly would set him on a path to suit up Sunday against the Lions. If the Panthers are forced to go a different direction, though, Bridgewater's replacement will be either P.J. Walker or Will Grier.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that the Panthers consider Bridgewater day-to-day, and Reed notes that Rhule said his quarterback "does not have a significant injury."

    Analysis: Bridgewater was forced out of the game in the fourth quarter, and the results of his MRI have now revealed an MCL sprain in his right knee, leaving him with a chance to play in Week 11, per Rapoport. The Panthers stand to subject Bridgewater to a number of trials at practice this week in order to determine when he might be able to retake the field.

Coach Matt Rhule didn't provide an update on Bridgewater's health after the game, per David Newton of ESPN.com, but there's apparently enough concern that an MRI has been ordered up.

    Analysis: Bridgewater departed in the fourth quarter and had his right knee evaluated before going to the locker room. Afterward, coach Matt Rhule told David Newton of ESPN.com that he had no update on Bridgewater's health. The Panthers likely will put Bridgewater through a battery of tests to determine the extent of the injury, and if he needs any time away from the field, P.J. Walker will direct the offense in his stead.

    Bridgewater (knee) went to the locker room near the end of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Joe Person of The Athletic reports. The Panthers deemed Bridgewater doubtful to return, per Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer.

    Analysis: Trainers examined Bridgewater's right knee before he headed inside. With little reason to bring him back in what is a soon-to-be loss, he'll finish 18-for-24 passing for 136 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. He also contributed three rushes for 16 yards and one touchdown. P.J. Walker entered the game in Bridgewater's place.

    Bridgewater completed 36 of 49 passes for 310 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Panthers' 33-31 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday. He also rushed twice for 19 yards and another score.

    Analysis: Bridgewater gave a strong accounting of himself in a head-to-head showdown with Patrick Mahomes, and he clearly benefited from having Christian McCaffrey (ribs), who he connected with on 10 occasions, back in the fold. The veteran quarterback not only remained free of mistakes, but he complemented his strong passing performance with two excellent runs, one going for a four-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter and another a spectacular 15-yard effort for a first down that culminated in an…read more

    Bridgewater completed 15 of 23 passes for 176 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Panthers' 25-17 loss to the Falcons on Thursday night. He also rushed five times for 30 yards.

    Analysis: It was ultimately a forgettable night all the way around for Bridgewater, albeit one that started off with plenty of promise. The seven-year veteran led the Panthers on a pair of first-half scoring drives that were capped off by Curtis Samuel touchdowns, but he all but disappeared in the second half while also briefly missing time due to a neck injury. Bridgewater would ultimately have one late opportunity to get Carolina in position to tie up the game with a touchdown and two-point conversion,…read more

    Analysis: Bridgewater was forced out of action Thursday after suffering a late hit to the head during the third quarter. He was initially listed as questionable after clearing the concussion protocol, and P.J. Walker began the Panthers' subsequent offensive drive, but Bridgewater managed to sprint back on the field with just under nine minutes remaining in the game. He'll attempt to lead the Panthers out of a 25-17 deficit.

    Bridgewater has been forced out of Thursday's divisional match against the Falcons after taking a hit to the head in the third quarter, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Bridgewater was tripped by Falcons defensive end Dante Fowler before then suffering a hit to the head from Charles Harris, who was subsequently ejected from the game. The QB was able to walk off the field under his own power before entering the blue medical tent. P.J. Walker, the Panthers' only other active quarterback for Thursday night, will slot in under center as long as Bridgewater remains sidelined.

    Bridgewater completed 23 of 28 passes for 254 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Panthers' 27-24 loss to the Saints on Sunday. He also rushed two times for 10 yards.

    Analysis: Bridgewater was back in the stadium that hosted several of the 2019 performances that helped score him a lucrative free-agent contract, and he bounced back from a rocky Week 6 outing against the Bears in Sunday's loss. The veteran averaged an impressive 9.1 yards per attempt while connecting with D.J. Moore for both of his touchdown tosses and hitting six different pass catchers overall.

    Bridgewater completed 16 of 29 pass attempts for 216 yards, committing two interceptions during Sunday's 23-16 loss to Chicago. He also ran for 48 yards on eight rush attempts.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old signal-caller entered Sunday with an uber-efficient 73.4 percent completion rate and 6:3 TD:INT, but the Bears registered six QB hits and four sacks on Bridgewater, holding him to a lowly 34.0 QBR on the afternoon. It may have been a completely different outcome had Bridgewater been able to redo his first and final series of the day, as he threw an interception on the third play from scrimmage and tossed a game-sealing INT on Carolina's last offensive drive.

    Bridgewater went 27-for-37 passing with 313 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 23-16 win against the Falcons.

    Analysis: The one-time Pro Bowl QB has been prolific in the yardage department through his first five outings as a Panther, averaging 292 passing yards per game with a 6:3 TD:INT. Bridgewater has also been uber-efficient in terms of his completion percentage, with Sunday's outing against the Falcons being his fourth performance of the season with a completion rate exceeding 70 percent. In Week 6, Bridgewater will face a Bears defense that surrendered 253 passing yards and one TD to Tom Brady its last…read more

  • Leads Panthers to second straight W

    Bridgewater went 26-for-37 with 276 yards, two touchdowns and one interception, adding six carries for 32 yards and a rushing touchdown during Sunday's 31-21 win against Arizona.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old signal-caller has composed winning starts in consecutive outings, handing Carolina its first back-to-back wins since Weeks 5 and 6 of 2019. Bridgewater has provided ample production in the yardage department through four appearances, throwing for more than 285 passing yards per game, but he had just two total touchdowns entering Sunday's contest. The scoring breakout from Bridgewater comes as Carolina prepares for a favorable QB matchup against Atlanta's bottom-three pass…read more

  • Avoids turnovers in victory

    Bridgewater completed 22 of 28 pass attempts for 235 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Chargers. He also carried two times for 12 yards in the 21-16 win.

    Analysis: Bridgewater completed an impressive 79 percent of his passes while averaging a healthy 8.4 yards per attempt. He connected with Mike Davis for a 13-yard touchdown in the second quarter, doubling his season touchdown output, but it proved to be his only score of the day. Bridgewater's yardage and completion numbers have been quite strong through three games, but his fantasy value has suffered because of a lack of touchdowns. He'll look to buck that trend next Sunday against the Cardinals.

  • Prolific numbers in losing effort

    Bridgewater completed 33 of 42 passes for 367 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions in the Panthers' 31-17 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

    Analysis: A game script that saw the Panthers down by 21-0 by halftime worked in favor of Bridgewater's fantasy managers, as it required the veteran quarterback to constantly put the ball up in the second half. Bridgewater unsurprisingly made a couple of errors with that level of volume, and considering he was under constant duress while getting sacked five times. Despite the high number of completions, however, Bridgewater only completed passes to three wideouts overall -- D.J. Moore, Robby Anderson and…read more

  • Totals 270 yards

    Bridgewater completed 22 of 34 passes for 270 yards and one touchdown in Week 1 against the Raiders. He also chipped in 26 rushing yards on four attempts.

    Analysis: Bridgewater was fairly unimpressive early on, completing only short passes. However, he opened things up a bit in the second half, particularly on a deep 75-yard touchdown pass to Robby Anderson. Reports suggested that Bridgewater was looking mobile during camp, and while he won't rival the elite rushing quarterbacks, it is noteworthy that he added 26 yards on the ground. He'll look to build on this performance in a Week 2 matchup against the Buccaneers.

  • Building familiarity with new team

    Bridgewater has shown good mobility and an improving rapport with wideout Robby Anderson early in training camp, Jonathan M. Alexander of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: Bridgewater certainly won't be mistaken for a former track star, but the quarterback is capable of scampering for a first down here and there. More importantly, it's the turbo-charged Anderson whose speed has impressed at camp thus far, as he's reportedly gotten consistent separation and has emerged as a favorite target of Bridgewater. With D.J. Moore, Curtis Samuel and Christian McCaffrey also ranking among his top weapons, Bridgewater undoubtedly has a dynamic set of pass catchers at his…read more

  • Going to Carolina

    The Panthers and Bridgewater have agreed to a three-year, $63 million contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Once teams can announce signings with unrestricted free agents Wednesday, the Panthers will officially have moved on from Cam Newton (foot). Bridgewater himself fared well in six extensive outings (five starts) in placed of an injured Drew Brees last season, completing 67.7 percent of his passes for 1,370 yards, nine touchdowns and two interceptions during that stretch. In Carolina, Bridgewater will reunite with new Panthers offensive coordinator Joe Brady, who was on the Saints' staff in…read more

  • Nears deal with Carolina

    The Panthers and Bridgewater are reportedly working toward a three-year deal thought to be in the $60 million range, Chris Mortensen of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Mortensen notes that the deal "is not done as they work out details but it is expected to be complete when (the) new league year opens Wednesday." Assuming the anticipated signing happens, Bridgewater would be in line to take over the Panthers' starting QB job, with the team poised to move on from Cam Newton.

  • Looking at strong market

    Bridgewater is expected to have a strong market for his services as an unrestricted free agent this spring, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: With Drew Brees coming back for another season and Taysom Hill still under contract, Bridgewater figures to leave New Orleans for a shot at a starting job. He won each of his five starts in 2019, completing 69.7 percent of passes for 7.3 yards per attempt in those games, with just nine sacks, two interceptions and no fumbles. The one negative for Bridgewater is a crowded market for free-agent QBs, including Tom Brady, Philip Rivers and Jameis Winston.

  • Quality fill-in option in 2019

    Bridgewater averaged 241.0 passing yards per game while completing 69.7 percent of his passes and throwing nine touchdowns to just two interceptions in five starts in 2019.

    Analysis: He filled in admirably for Drew Brees as the Saints' starter from Weeks 3-7, leading the team to a perfect record in that span while playing quality football. Bridgewater will be a free agent in 2020 after two seasons with New Orleans, though Drew Brees and Taysom Hill will be in the same boat, creating an interesting dilemma. The Saints spent a third-round pick to acquire Bridgewater from the Jets in 2018, though his future with the organization is yet unknown.
