Breaking down the 53-man roster

The Panthers’ initial 53-man roster for the 2017 regular season is comprised of all seven drafted rookies, one undrafted rookie, eight players signed in the offseason and 37 players who spent time on the roster in 2016.

Undrafted rookie cornerback Cole Luke made the team, as did three street free agents. Wide receiver Kaelin Clay was on injured reserve with the Ravens last season; guard Amini Silatolu was waived in the Bears’ final roster cutdown last season; and center Greg Van Roten signed on the eve of training camp after having been waived by the Jaguars in May.
