Carolina Panthers Cut Tracker: All Releases Ahead of Roster Deadline

The preseason is officially winding down, and Week 1 on September 13 looms large for the Carolina Panthers. Before they take the field against the Chicago Bears to defend their NFC South crown, they have to trim the roster.

Teams typically keep around 90 players on the roster throughout training camp and the preseason, and the Panthers are no different. They have to get to 53 by the deadline, so they will have to have some painful conversations with players.

As that happens, we'll keep you updated on who gets cut and the rest of the players will be safe.

Here are all of the cuts the Panthers have made so far:

As of now, the team hasn't yet made cuts, especially with the final preseason game this evening. However, the team has to have just 53 players by Sunday at 6 pm ET. So, expect the cuts to trickle in following the game and ramp up in the hours leading up to the deadline.

Panthers who could get cut

The Panthers have a full roster right now, but they have to cut almost 40 players by Sunday evening. There are a lot of players at risk, including:

WR John Metchie III
QB Kyle Trask
WR Ja'seem Reed
WR David Moore
RB Miles Davis
RB Anthony Tyus III
WR Elijah Cooks
WR Jimmy Horn Jr.
WR Roc Taylor
WR Casey Washington
TE Feleipe Franks
TE Ja'Tavion Sanders
TE Darren Waller
TE Caden Prieskorn
C Nick Samac
G Ja'Tyre Carter
OT Jake Curhan
OT Isaia Glass
OT Ryan Hayes
IDL Elijah Garcia
IDL Aaron Hall
IDL Tywone Malone Jr.
IDL Parker Peterson
EDGE Thomas Incoom
LB Bam Martin-Scott
LB Mapalo Mwansa
LB Maema Njongmeta
LB Isaiah Smith
CB Tyrek Funderburk
CB Cam Miller
CB DeVonta Smith
CB Robert Rochell
S Demani Richardson

Currently, Chris Brazzell II, Dan Chisena, and Nic Scourton are on the injured reserve, so they don't count. It is likely that Tershawn Wharton, Ikem Ekwonu, and Taylor Moton will join them, thus opening up a few precious roster spots.

Players like Bryce Young, Tetairoa McMillan, Derrick Brown, Xavier Legette, and Mike Jackson are not at risk. We don't expect there to be any huge surprises with aging or costly players because the Panthers don't have a ton of those.
