The Carolina Panthers made their first roster moves before the NFL cutdown day on Friday, per Yahoo Sports. Coach Dave Canales hinted at early roster cuts ahead of the Sunday deadline when teams must trim their rosters from 90 to 53 players. The Panthers waived running back Miles Davis, tight end Caden Prieskorn, defensive tackles Kyon Barrs and Tywone Malone, and wide receivers Elijah Cooks and Roc Taylor.
Offensive tackle Ryan Hayes was also designated as waived, injured, and special teams, while Dan Chisena was released with an injury settlement. The team also agreed to terms with veteran Bobby Okereke on a one-year deal to add competition for the inside linebacker role.
