Panthers Roster Cuts & Waiver Drama | College Basketball News

The Carolina Panthers are in crunch time as they slash their roster from 91 to 53 players by Sunday’s 6 p.m. deadline, with waves of cuts starting Saturday. Players face tough choices—waivers could lead to new teams, releases make them free agents, or IR lists sideline them for games. Injuries already sidelined key names like Scourton and Brazzell, while Ekwonu and Wharton sit on PUP, and Moton deals with a blood clot. QB Haynes King might hit IR with return eligibility. Understanding waivers vs. releases is crucial—and once the waiver wire closes Monday, practice squads begin forming. The final roster will be 53 active, 17 on the practice squad, plus reserves—all set by Monday. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
