Before Sunday's NFL cut deadline, Carolina trimmed its roster with a few shock moves.

DT Aaron Hall among surprise picks for Panthers' initial 53-man roster

The Carolina Panthers' initial 53-man roster for the NFL regular season included a surprise pick in DT Aaron Hall, an undrafted free agent. Coach Dave Canales acknowledged the challenges the front office faced in making final moves before the 6 p.m. ET cutdown deadline. Hall joined fellow rookies Lee Hunter and Cam Jackson, forming a young defensive front.

The Panthers traded TeRah Edwards to the Los Angeles Chargers for a 2028 sixth-round draft pick, opting to begin with only three running backs and guards. The roster included notable cuts such as linebacker Trevin Wallace and wide receivers David Moore and Ja seem Reed.
