NFL roster cutdown day: Tracking reported moves made by the Carolina Panthers

All 32 NFL teams have until 4:00 p.m. Eastern time today to trim their rosters from 90 players down to 53 in preparation for the start of the regular season. That means first-year Carolina Panthers general manager Dan Morgan and rookie head coach Dave Canales will be hard at work making the final touches to their team over these next several hours.
Rumor has it that the Panthers will be releasing all of their 2024 roster cuts at one time later today - around 2:00 p.m. Eastern time, a couple hours before the league's deadline. We will be keeping an eye out for that, but that doesn't mean there won't be some reported cuts before then. Here's where we will be tracking those moves for Carolina as they come in.
