Tremble is the starting tight end for the Panthers and they will have to look elsewhere for a matchup against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. He is one of two tight ends on the mend for the team as Ian Thomas is questionable due to a calf injury.

Ja’Tavion Sanders would be expected to see an increased role this week with Tremble out. The rookie out of Texas was selected in the fourth round this offseason and has eight catches for 41 yards through the first five games.

Kickoff between the Panthers and Falcons is set for 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday in Charlotte.

NFL fines Panthers CB Jaycee Horn for fight, ejection during Bears game

Tommy Tremble was the only Panthers player to receive a fine after Sunday’s contest. CB Jaycee Horn was slapped with a $11,817 fine for his role in a melee that got him ejected last week against the Bears.

Chicago offensive lineman Matt Pryor was hit with a $6,527 fine for his role in the fight. And Panthers linebacker DJ Johnson was also fined $6,9848.

ith 4:23 left in the fourth quarter, a fight broke out in the end zone between the two teams after the Bears made the score 36-10. Roschon Johnson scored a touchdown and then that’s when Horn immediately started to get into it with Bears offensive lineman Bill Murray.

Bears offensive lineman Matt Pryor appeared to throw punches at multiple players on the opposing team, before he was shoved by Panthers linebacker DJ Johnson and fell to the ground. The replay also showed Pryor punching Horn on the side of his helmet.

The Bears were up on the Panthers 27-7 in the first half. And Chicago outscored them 9-3 in the second half to ensure the blowout victory.
