Tremble caught his only target for a 12-yard gain in Saturday's 27-0 preseason loss to the Jets.
Tremble is striving to hold off Stephen Sullivan to serve as Carolina's third tight end this season, with Giovanni Ricci featuring more at fullback. A third-round pick in 2021, Tremble boasts 39 catches through 33 career games and could find targets even harder to come by this season following the signing of veteran tight end Hayden Hurst. Should he keep his roster spot, Tremble figures to rotate with Ian Thomas in a backup capacity.

Panthers' Tommy Tremble: Drops to third on depth chart
Rotowire
Tremble seems to be third on Carolina's TE depth chart after Hayden Hurst signed with the team and Ian Thomas accepted a pay cut, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Kaye notes that the contracts for Hurst and Thomas suggest they'll be on the roster for the next two years, which covers the final two years of Tremble's rookie contract. The 2021 third-round pick took 510 offensive snaps as a rookie and 510 last season, but he caught only 39 of 67 targets (59.4 percent) for 354 yards and four TDs in 33 games. With Hurst now taking over as Carolina's top receiving tight end, Tremble may get even fewer pass-catching chances this season.

Panthers' Tommy Tremble: Finishes second season
Rotowire
Tremble caught 19 of 32 targets for 174 yards and three touchdowns while playing all 17 games in the 2022 season.
Tremble's receiving output closely resembled that of his 2021 rookie campaign, although he totaled one more touchdown this term. In an underwhelming offense alongside fellow tight end Ian Thomas, Tremble's upside was restricted. While a potential change in the coaching staff and starting quarterback this offseason could offer Tremble a new situation in 2023, it's also possible Carolina adds a more dynamic tight end to go with Thomas and him, leaving the former third-rounder's stock in question for the time being.

Panthers' Tommy Tremble: Scores in loss
Rotowire
Tremble caught all three of his targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Buccaneers.

Panthers' Tommy Tremble: Active in Week 17
Rotowire
Tremble (hip) is active for Sunday's Week 17 clash against the Buccaneers, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Tremble will be available to continue splitting snaps with veteran Ian Thomas at tight end versus Tampa Bay in Sunday's critical divisional battle. The second-year pro heads into the contest with back-to-back two-catch outings, but the position retains only a modest role in Carolina's passing attack.

Panthers' Tommy Tremble: Questionable for Week 17
Rotowire
Tremble (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's road matchup against the Buccaneers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Tremble practiced in full Friday after beginning the week with back-to-back limited sessions, which could bode well for his chances of being cleared for action Sunday. If the second-year pro is able to suit up versus Tampa Bay, he will once again stand to split reps with Ian Thomas.

Panthers' Tommy Tremble: Limited again Thursday
Rotowire
Tremble (hip) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Darin Gantt of the Panther's official site reports.
Tremble has kicked off Week 17 prep with back-to-back capped sessions due to a hip issue, leaving him only one more opportunity to increase his reps before Carolina posts its third and final injury report of the week. If he's able to suit up Sunday in Tampa Bay, he'll continue to split TE reps with Ian Thomas, which has amounted to a 15-139-2 line on 28 targets for Tremble in 15 appearances this season.

Panthers' Tommy Tremble: Limited by hip injury
Rotowire
Tremble (hip) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Since playing 41 percent or fewer of the offensive snaps in each of the first four games of the season, Tremble has seen more than 50 percent in nine of the last 11 contests. His production hasn't matched the usage, as he's put together a combined 10-97-2 receiving line on 20 targets during that stretch. Fellow tight end Ian Thomas has mustered a 14-103-0 line on 17 targets in that same span, so neither is an appealing fantasy option at tight end at this stage. In any case, Tremble will have two more chances to get back to full activity ahead of Sunday's all-important outing at Tampa Bay.

Panthers' Tommy Tremble: Makes one catch
Rotowire
Tremble caught one of two targets for two yards in Sunday's 23-10 win over the Broncos.

Panthers' Tommy Tremble: No catches Thursday
Rotowire
Tremble didn't catch his only target in Thursday night's 25-15 win over the Falcons.
Tremble again led Carolina's tight ends in snaps, but he was blanked in the passing game after catching a touchdown in two of his previous three outings. Despite that recent success, Tremble's mere 10 receptions through 10 games evidence his mild overall value.

Panthers' Tommy Tremble: Scores in loss
Rotowire
Tremble caught two of four targets for 11 yards and a touchdown but also lost a fumble in Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Bengals.
Tremble scored Carolina's first points with an eight-yard touchdown reception to begin the third quarter. However, that only came after Tremble was charged with a fumble on a kickoff return to end the first half. With a touchdown in two of the last three weeks, Tremble's stock is nonetheless trending upward ahead of Thursday night's game versus the Falcons.

Tremble caught two of four targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to the Falcons.
Tremble played two offensive snaps more than fellow tight end Ian Thomas, who caught just one pass for two yards. While the second-year Tremble holds higher upside as a pass-catcher than Thomas, neither Carolina tight end holds much fantasy value.

Rotowire
Tremble caught three of six targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 26-16 loss to the Cardinals.

Panthers' Tommy Tremble: Three grabs against Cards
Rotowire
Tremble caught three of five targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 26-16 loss to the Cardinals.
After managing only two catches through the first three games of the year, Tremble got more involved in the passing game Sunday, although his numbers were still modest. The 2021 third-round pick has some upside due to his athleticism, but he'll have a hard time reaching it unless the Carolina offense as a whole takes a big step forward. Tremble faces a tough matchup in Week 5 against the stingy 49ers.

Panthers' Tommy Tremble: Snap count cut in half Week 2
Rotowire
Tremble went without a target while playing nine of the Panthers' 54 offensive snaps (17 percent) in Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Giants.
Tremble's usage was cut in half compared to the Panthers' season-opening loss to the Browns, when he was on the field for 17 snaps (34 percent share). Ian Thomas looks to be locked in as Carolina's clear top tight end, and Tremble may not necessarily have a steady hold on the No. 2 role. Stephen Sullivan played only five fewer snaps than Tremble in Week 2 and turned his lone target into a 13-yard reception.

Panthers' Tommy Tremble: Makes three grabs
Rotowire
Tremble caught three of four targets for 23 yards in Friday's 21-0 preseason win over the Bills.
Tremble started at tight end and played one-third of Carolina's offensive snaps. He made a solid impact during that run, gearing himself up well for the regular season. While teammate Ian Thomas (ribs) is expected to return within the next week after being sidelined since Aug. 9, Tremble figures to be the Panthers' most-utilized tight end in the passing game. That role could give Tremble a good shot to improve on his 20 catches on 35 targets for 180 yards and a touchdown as a rookie last year.
