  "account": "Carolina Panthers general manager Dan Morgan addressed the team's evolving 53-man roster during a press conference at Bank of America Stadium on NFL cutdown day. Morgan explained his reasoning for selecting five tight ends, noting that each player brings a unique skill set that aligns with the team's needs. Despite the unit's performance in last Wednesday's joint practice with the Houston Texans, Morgan expressed confidence in the offensive line, stating, \"I feel good about our own line.\" He added that the practice was a valuable learning experience and reassured that Haynes King, the rookie quarterback, would be on the active roster for the foreseeable future. Morgan praised the Panthers' scouting staff for discovering undrafted free-agent talent, such as King, defensive tackle Aaron Hall, and offensive tackle Albert Reese IV. With the team set to face the Chicago Bears in Week 1, Morgan remains optimistic about the roster's potential to challenge for consecutive NFC South championships.",
