Well, the Carolina Panthers made the 4 p.m. deadline for roster cuts on Tuesday, to get to the required 75-player roster limit as outlined by the NFL. Once again dreams of making it in the NFL for some players came to an end, while possibly for a few others, there is the possibility to be picked up by another team.
To start, wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin was placed on injured reserve.
Here is a list of the other players who were waived to get to the roster limit
- Wide receiver Jarrett Boykin
- Wide receiver De’Andre Presley
- Cornerback Melvin White
- Safety Robert Lester
- Defensive tackle Kenny Horsley
- Defensive tackle Micanor Regis (was injured)
Breaking down, who was a surprise?
