Overview

• Miami fell to 1-4 after a 27-24 loss to the Panthers in which a 17-0 lead evaporated, intensifying scrutiny of the coaching staff.
• Mike McDaniel said Stephen Ross was “really frustrated” in their routine postgame meeting and emphasized that fixes on film must translate to action.
• Adam Schefter said a firing does not appear imminent, and Jeremy Fowler described McDaniel’s status as “moderately hot” with ownership inclined to give him time.
• Veteran reporter Tony Pauline said sources expect Ross to reassess in two to three games, with some reports also raising the possibility that GM Chris Grier could be evaluated.
• Players, including Jaelan Phillips, said the locker room remains together, and the team turns to a home game against the Chargers as the next chance to stabilize.
