The Panthers got a long look at first-round pick Jon Beason on Saturday against the Giants.

Six days after he ended his holdout, the outside linebacker played the final three quarters with the second and third teams. He forced Ahmad Bradshaw's fumble in the final minute to preserve Carolina's win.

"It was a lot of fun," Beason said. "I loved the atmosphere. Putting on that uniform for the first time was a lot of fun and I played pretty consistent, so I was happy with it."

Beason was credited with a team-high eight tackles.
