Panthers HC Dave Canales speaks on standing pat at the trade deadline
Panthers HC Dave Canales was asked about his team's quiet steps through the trade deadline.
The Carolina Panthers remained silent during this year's trade deadline, with head coach Dave Canales revealing the reasons behind their decision. Two primary factors contributed to the team's inactivity: a lack of salary cap space and the roster's overall health. Canales stated that they are thrilled about the players returning to the team, in whatever order that may occur.
He expressed confidence in the current lineup, highlighting the potential improvements from players like Mike Jackson, Jaycee Horn, Xavier Legette, Damien Lewis, and Jaelan Phillips. The team designated Jonathon Brooks, Xavier Legette, and Mike Jackson to return to practice, with all four players participating in today's session.
Rookie cornerback Will Lee III also fully participated after missing a recent game. However, Pro Bowl cornerback Jaycee Horn still faces challenges in regaining full fitness, as he has been on injured reserve due to a quad issue since Week 4.
