WESTFIELD, Ind. - Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said Friday that the plan was to rest his starters in Sunday's preseason opener against the Colts.

They got plenty of work in two days of joint practices with the Colts, which lessened the need for reps in a live game (with actual tackling).

Rhule said that the first team's workload in these workouts made it easier for him to park them Sund
