Carolina Panthers 2026 roster cuts tracker

The Carolina Panthers must reduce their roster from 90 players to 53 by 6:00 PM ET on Sunday, August 30th, according to a live tracker and discussion thread. This article will focus exclusively on the Panthers' cuts, not other teams. The roster is not the same as the one set to play against the Chicago Bears on September 9th. Late cuts could result in adjustments during the week.

Injured players can be placed on injured reserve before final cuts and still return during the season. Haynes King's injury status will be closely monitored. Expect rapid changes, even after the deadline.

Miles Davis, Tywone Malone, Caden Prieskorn, Kyon Barrs, Elijah Cooks, Roc Taylor, Kyle Trask, Jeremiah Moon, Parker Petersen, Maema Njongmeta, Jake Curhan, and James Mitchell are among the players who may be cut. Ryan Hayes, an offensive tackle, and Dan Chisena, a wide receiver, are being waived-injured with settlement payments.

FanDuel offers +250 odds for the Panthers to make the playoffs and -310 for them to miss them. The deep Panther roster usually attracts little interest from other teams. However, if some of the soon-to-be-former players get picked up, it could bode well for the Panthers' season. Conversely, if they cut players who couldn't make an impact elsewhere, the team may continue its recent downward trend. playoff contention, even with a losing record for the second year in a row, should be avoided if possible.
