Panthers Roster Woes and Practice Squad Moves | Carolina Panthers News

The Carolina Panthers are navigating a turbulent preseason as key players hit the injury list, including running back Jonathon Brooks (limited), linebacker Patrick Jones II (out), and right tackle Taylor Moton (out 4+ games due to blood clot). Rookie standout Trevor Etienne is also on IR but eligible to return. The blow of defensive end Nic Scourton’s season-ending ACL tear and wideout Chris Brazzell’s knee injury adds to the roster woes. To offset the losses, the Panthers have smartly bolstered their practice squad with veteran linebacker Tyrel Dodson — a proven tackler with over 300 tackles in three seasons — along with returning guard Chandler Zavala and outside linebacker Jeremiah Moon. These moves signal a strategic effort to build depth and find hidden gems while managing a challenging injury landscape heading into the new season.
