Carolina Panthers 53-man roster: Changes to projections after second preseason game

Evaluating the Carolina Panthers' roster through two preseason games.

Eric Canha-USA TODAY Sports

Since last week's Carolina Panthers 53-man roster outlook, four players have moved their way from on the bubble to on the roster, in my opinion - TE Jordan Matthews, WR Terrace Marshall Jr., LB Eku Leota and OL Chandler Zavala. I also moved two players from on the roster to on the bubble - LB Chandler Wooten and S Jammie Robinson.

As we head into the final week of the preseason, here is how I see the Panthers' 53-man roster shaping up. And yes, I'm aware there aren't 53 players predicted to make the team. Those spots have to be won.
