How did former Jaguars LB Devin Lloyd play in Panthers debut?

How did former Jaguars' LB Devin Lloyd play in his debut with the Panthers after signing with Carolina in free agency?

Former Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Devin Lloyd delivered a strong performance in his Carolina Panthers debut during Week 1, facing off against the Chicago Bears. Signed to a three-year, $45 million contract as a free agent, Lloyd made an immediate impact on the field. Playing a full 74 snaps, he showcased his defensive abilities by recording three quarterback pressures and a total of 13 tackles.

In coverage, Lloyd managed to limit pass-catchers to a modest 8.3 yards per catch, contributing significantly to the team's defense. With Lloyd absent from the Jaguars' defense, the team relied heavily on Ventrell Miller to step up and fill the void. Miller had a solid Week 1 as well, allowing only two receptions for six total yards while adding eight total tackles to his performance.

Lloyd, who was the 27th overall pick by the Jaguars in the 2022 NFL draft, gave fans a glimpse of his promising talent as he made his mark in his first game with the Carolina Panthers.
