First year general manager Dan Morgan and his work bestie head coach Dave Canales have some decisions to make in the next two weeks. The 53-man roster deadline is Tuesday, August 27th at 4:00pm. Between those 53 spots and the 17 on the practice squad, the Panthers will have to tab 70 players to take into battle in 2024 (at least to begin with). Based on what has happened so far in camp and the preseason, here is how I see the final 53-man roster shaking out for the Carolina Panthers.
Offense (25)
Quarterback (2): Bryce Young, Andy Dalton
Runningback (4): Chuba Hubbard, Miles Sanders, Raheem Blackshear, Mike Boone
Tight end (4): Ian Thomas, Tommy Tremble, Ja'Tavion Sanders, Jordan Matthews
Wide receiver (6): Diontae Johnson, Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen, Jonathan Mingo, Ihmir Smith-Marsette, Terrace Marshall Jr
Offensive line (9): Ikem Ekwonu, Damien Lewis, Austin Corbett, Robert Hunt, Taylor Moton, Brady Christensen, Chandler Zavala, Cade Mays, Andrew Raym
For this prediction, I think both Jonathan Brooks and Yoshi Nijman will be on injured reserve to start the season.
