The NFL announced the complete 2022 schedule on Thursday, and the Carolina Panthers are officially set to kick off their 2022 season at home against the Cleveland Browns at 1 p.m. ET on CBS. Their first divisional game will be in Week 3 against the New Orleans Saints at home.
The Panthers finished 5-12 in the 2021 season after a failed experiment using Sam Darnold and Cam Newton as their quarterback. They didn’t make any flashy free agency signings but brought in offensive line help and depth for all levels of the defense. They had the sixth overall pick in the draft and selected NC State OT Ikem Ekwonu, who will be an instant starter. Carolina also drafted Ole Miss QB Matt Corral in the third round, and he could factor into their quarterback situation for the 2022 season.
All times listed are Eastern.
