Who is on the Panthers' Roster Bubble?

In my estimation, there are about 40 players on the Carolina Panthers' roster who do not have a spot locked up on the 53-man roster, meaning Friday's preseason finale against Detroit will determine their future.

I split those 40 players up by putting 18 of them on the roster bubble (players I think could have a chance) and the remaining 22 on the outside looking in (players who will almost certainly be cut).

Having 40 guys battle for a spot means I believe 50 of 53 spots are taken care of. Three players on the roster bubble will make the cut and be with the team in Week 1.

Here's how I see it.
