Panthers to Tackle Giants in Televised Preseason Game

As the schedules start unraveling for the 2009 NFL season, anticipation starts mounting, and so it is for Panthers fans across the country who are waiting to see how the season will kick off this year. While the offseason fun has yet to begin (with the upcoming NFL Draft,) it has already been announced that the Carolina Panthers will start their preseason this fall with a televised game against the New York Giants. The Panthers will travel to Giants Stadium on August 17 in an attempt to take down the Giants at the Meadowlands, opening their preseason in a televised showdown.

Other preseason games have recently been announced, but details aren’t all worked out yet. The Panthers’ other preseason matchups will be at Miami and then home against the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers, with the game against the Giants starting it all off for Carolina. The NFL preseason kicks off on August 9 when the Tennessee Titans face the Buffalo Bills, and you better expect the Panthers to be ready to take down Manning and the Giants soon thereafter when the two teams meet for the first time in ’09.
