A few areas the Carolina Panthers should address ahead of Week 1.
would have liked to held on to all 90 players they had in camp, there are rules that limit them and every other team in the league to roster just 53. Some tough decisions were made on Tuesday as roster cuts were made and now the focus turns to fine-tuning the back end of the 53-man roster via the waiver wire.Derrick Brown, A'Shawn Robinson, and Shy Tuttle form a pretty formidable starting trio.
LaBryan Ray, Nick Thurman, Jayden Peevy, and Jaden Crumedy? Yeah, that's not going to get it done. The only problem is, they may not be able to improve the defensive front until next offseason due to more pressing needs which is where we are moving our focus to now.It was announced on Tuesday that D.J. Wonnum will start the season on the physically unable to perform list, meaning he will be out for the first four games as he continues to recover from a torn quad.
The Panthers do have Jadeveon Clowney who is coming off one of the best seasons of his NFL career, but he can't do it alone. DJ Johnson, K'Lavon Chaisson, and Eku Leota are better suited for reserve roles, so you can expect this to be one position Morgan adds to before Week 1.
Troy Hill and rookie Chau Smith-Wade are listed as corners, but are primarily going to see action at nickel. This means aside from Horn and Jackson, D'Shawn Jamison is the only other corner that can play on the outside. The Panthers can't enter the season with three outside corners.Panthers put rookie RB, 2 edge rushers on PUP list to begin season
