Before 2026 he played 79 games (postseason included) over 5 seasons.

In short
Tommy Tremble is a starter at tight end for CAR — 68% of the snaps in his best week of 5. He has a rib injury. This week he practised limited, then practised in full. His team has not listed him on the final report. We say he plays — 99%, in a band that plays 96% of the time. We have said PLAY since 78 hours before kickoff.
The reader concurs · grade A
The Panthers' own site states that apart from the three players in practice windows, "the rest of the players on the report have no game designations so they're good to go," naming Tommy Tremble explicitly (P2). The independent beat write-up of the same Week 6 report assigns designations only to Wharton (questionable), Freeling (doubtful) and Dillon (out), and mentions Tremble merely as one of the dinged-up players who benefited from the bye (P1). His rib issue limited him Wednesday and Thursday (P3, P4) but it resolved into a clean, undesignated Friday, so the PLAY call stands.
