Panthers Roster Battles Before Season | Carolina Panthers News

The Carolina Panthers have locked down key roster spots—left tackle, third wide receiver, and center—but still face critical decisions before kickoff. Wide receiver depth remains unsettled, with David Moore favored by Coach Canales, while Brycen Tremayne and Jimmy Horn Jr. bring special teams value, Metchie shines in preseason, and Reed stands out. At tight end, JaTavion Sanders battles Feleipe Franks for the fourth spot. Inside linebacker next to Devin Lloyd is still up for grabs, with Trevin Wallace underperforming and Claudin Cherelus competing. Nickel cornerback could go to fifth-round pick Chau Smith-Wade, who snagged a big interception, over struggling Corey Thornton. And the returner job? Jimmy Horn Jr. is making a strong case against Trevor Etienne. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
