The Panthers and Bills will practice together on the final two days of camp -- Aug. 13 and 14 -- before the preseason contest between the teams at Bank of America Stadium on Friday, Aug. 16.
“The joint practices are an opportunity for us to get some quality work done,” said head coach Ron Rivera. “We’ve done it before and had good success. They are high-intensity workouts and give our players different looks against different people. There is a little bit more of a challenge, especially for the quarterbacks. I’m pretty excited about that.”
The Panthers have held joint training camp practices with the Detroit Lions in 2000 and the Miami Dolphins in 2015.
