Keep in mind fans, from here on out this season we as reporters are only allowed to report a limited amount of information obtained from what are now "closed practice sessions," which often precludes us from discussing the type of plays that are being run, who made a nice play during practice and any position changes (unless coach John Fox or a player addresses it specifically following practice).

   Fox has made it clear through the team's PR department that a violation of this agreement could result in all practices being closed to reporters.

   Quite frankly, that's not something any of us in the media want since some information from practice is better than none. Also, it's not an unreasonable on the Panthers part considering the strategy and gamesmanship involved in the NFL and how some information might tip off another coach as to what the Panthers are doing. A perfect example of this came last year in preparations for the Atlanta Falcons. As reporters, we watched DeAngelo Williams take a lot of reps at quarterback during practice. but we weren't allowed to write about it because it would have tipped off the Falcons. As it turned out, the move surprised the Falcons and helped the Panthers win the game.

   So basically what I'm saying here is I promise to give you as much information in this blog (and as much opinion-based material as possible) without violating the agreed upon rules, but it probably won't be as elaborate as what you've read in training camp.

   That said, here are some items from Tuesday:

   1. Defensive end Julius Peppers was back on the field Tuesday after spending most of the last week recovering from an illness. The Panthers have been very vague on what Peppers' problem was, only saying "he was sick." Peppers turned down interview requests after practice.

   2. Rookie Ryan Kalil is excited about his move from center to right guard, where he could get some reps with the first team. This represents a change from earlier this week where Geoff Hangartner had been working with the first team at righ guard. (Yes, Fox and Kalil talked about this switch to guard after practice) Anyway, the game of musical chairs on the O-line continues.

   3. Na'il Diggs (hamstring) was the only player held out of practice.
