Thomas-Oliver (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
The rookie seventh-round pick isn't expected to handle more than a reserve role even if he's able to suit up Week 1, so the Panthers could simply opt to take a cautious approach to his recovery.

Panthers' Stantley Thomas-Oliver: Heading to Carolina
Rotowire
The Panthers selected Thomas-Oliver in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft, 221st overall.
