Live updates on the Panthers’ last roster-filling scramble of the offseason
The Carolina Panthers have to cut their roster down from 90 to 53 by 1:00 PM ET on Tuesday, August 26th. That’s tomorrow from when this tracker is going live. We’re going to keep an eye here on all of the Panthers cuts, including their final decision on a kicker
We will not be tracking notable cuts from other teams in this space. Any of those who get added to the Panthers will be addressed if and when they are signed.
Keep in mind that the roster at 1 PM tomorrow is not the same thing as the roster the Panthers will open with against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, September 7th. Late cuts can lead to adjustments through the rest of this week. NFL rules also make things difficult to deal with injured players at this time of year.
Two players can be placed on injured reserve before final roster cuts and still be designated to return during the season. Any other player placed on injured reserve before 1 PM tomorrow is ineligible to return this season.
Nic Scourton and Princely Umanmielen, for example, are two promising rookies who the Panthers are pinning a lot of hopes on for 2025 and beyond. Both suffered injuries during the preseason. Fortunately, both seem like they will be ready for early playing time, but any set backs or unpublicized complications could make their positions on the roster, and those of any other injured players, that much harder to manage for Dan Morgan.
In short, expect things to change quickly and often, even after the deadline. With that in mind, stay tuned to this space.
