Just walked off the field down here in Spartanburg, S.C.

Here are some observations:

1. The first scuffle of training camp broke out when running back DeShaun Foster took exception to a hit from linebacker Adam Seward. Foster got off the ground and then tackled Seward. The two rolled on the ground for a little bit before some teammates, including defensive tackle Kris Jenkins, broke things up. "We're going to have fun today," Jenkins said with a laugh afterward.

2. Drew Carter hauled in a long touchdown pass from David Carr, getting a rise from the crowd. Carr completed a similar pass to another player on Saturday night. Carter is still working with the first team. We haven't seen much so far from Dwayne Jarrett.

3. No new updates on the Jon Beason negotiations. Beason is the lowest-drafted first-round draft pick who has yet to sign. Na'il Diggs continues to work in his place.

4. The Panthers seem to be running a ton a screen plays in practice and most seem to be effective. We'll touch on that more later this week.

5. The players really like John Fox's new alternating schedule which is two practices one day and one the next. Most teams went to that a while back.

6. Defensive end Mike Rucker appeared to do more work today than the previous day. He looks good so far. Let's hope he isn't rushing back too soon.

7. Ma'ake Kemoeatu messed up a call at the line of scrimmage and line coach Sal Sunseri jumped all over him.

8. Tomorrow's practices are 9:10 and 6:40.
