Panthers Set Initial Roster
The Panthers made a number of moves on Tuesday to get their roster down to 53. Carolina moved rookie running back Jonathon Brooks to the reserve/NFI list, likewise sidelining edge rushers D.J. Wonnum and Amare Barno for the start of the year via a reserve/PUP designation. Carolina also moved on from wideout Terrace Marshall after failing to find a trade partner. Cornerback Dane Jackson and safety Sam Franklin will begin the year on injured reserve, but they have been designated for return and will not count on the opening 53-man roster.
Here are the team’s other moves ahead of the cutdown deadline:
Released:
- G Ike Boettger
- RB Mike Boone
- S Rudy Ford
- TE Jacob Hollister
- TE Jesper Horsted
- TE Jordan Matthews
Waived:
- DT Junior Aho (injury designation)
- DT Ulumoo Ale
- G Jack Anderson
- LB Aaron Beasley
- CB Dicaprio Bootle
- G Mason Brooks
- S Alex Cook
- T Jeremiah Crawford
- CB Willie Drew
- OLB Kenny Dyson
- TE Feleipe Franks
- T Ricky Lee
- OLB Derrick McLendon
- CB Quandre Mosely
- DT Walter Palmore
- WR Sam Pinckney
- QB Jack Plummer
- RB Jaden Shirden
- DT TJ Smith
- T Tyler Smith (injury designation)
- WR Mike Strachan
- OLB Luiji Vilain
- CB Chris Wilcox
- LB Chandler Wooten
Placed on IR:
Ford signed as a free agent earlier this month, giving the Panthers another option at the safety position. That spot has seen considerable turnover this offseason, and Ford could find himself being brought back on a practice squad deal. Failing that, the veteran of 86 games and 21 starts will aim to land a gig with a new team ahead of Week 1.
Choosing to move on from four tight ends is a strong sign of confidence in the trio still on the 53-man roster, a group which includes two recent draft additions. Ja’Tavion Sanders (fourth round, 2024) and Tommy Tremble (third round, 2021) will be joined by veteran Ian Thomas at the position this season, the first with Dave Canales in place as head coach.
While Jackson and Franklin are eligible to be activated beginning in Week 5, Davis and Gill are not. They will be sidelined for the entire 2024 campaign as a result of today’s decision. Bother players are pending free agents, and their respective injuries will of course hinder their market value next spring.

Today’s minor transactions to wrap up the weekend:
Atlanta Falcons
- Signed: RB Spencer Brown, QB John Paddock
- Placed on IR: CB Harrison Hand, OLB Bralen Trice
- Waived: QB Nathan Rourke
Baltimore Ravens
- Signed: P Jack Browning, WR Anthony Miller (story)
- Waived: G Tykeem Doss, LS Randen Plattner
Carolina Panthers
- Signed: G Jack Anderson, DT Walter Palmore, WR Tayvion Robinson, T Tyler Smith
- Waived (with injury designation): WR Deven Thompkins
- Waived: CB Willie Drew, K Harrison Mevis, RB Jaden Shirden
Chicago Bears
- Signed: DT Jaylon Hutchings
- Waived: RB Demetric Felton
Detroit Lions
- Signed: LB Abraham Beauplan, T Jamarco Jones
- Placed on IR: DL Nate Lynn
- Waived (with injury designation): T Connor Galvin
Jacksonville Jaguars
- Released: LB Ty Summers
New York Giants
- Waived: RB Jacob Saylors
New York Jets
- Signed: TE Neal Johnson
- Waived (with injury designation): LB Jimmy Ciarlo
Trice will unfortunately see his rookie season come to an end before it began. The third-round pick out of Washington exited Atlanta’s first preseason game with a knee injury that was later confirmed to be a torn ACL. Trice had been working his way into to outside linebacker rotation with the Falcons.
With Mevis getting cut, it seems the Panthers’ kicking battle has been decided. The rookie kicker, known as the “Thicker Kicker” at Missouri, was brought in to provide incumbent kicker Eddy Pineiro with competition for the job. Mevis’ departure leaves Pineiro as the only remaining kicker on the roster, putting an end to any competition.

Here are Wednesday’s minor NFL moves:
Detroit Lions

Jacksonville Jaguars

- Waived: G Jack Anderson
Pittsburgh Steelers

Minor NFL Transactions: 6/7/24
Today’s minor moves as we head into the weekend:
Cleveland Browns
- Signed: G Wyatt Davis
- Waived: DT Jayden Peevy
Jacksonville Jaguars
- Claimed off waivers (from Colts): C Jack Anderson
Philadelphia Eagles
- Signed: CB Parry Nickerson
After getting drafted in the third round out of Ohio State, Davis has yet to make a start in his first three seasons. Despite competing for a starting job in the offseason before his sophomore campaign in Minnesota, Davis was waived as part of the team’s final roster cuts. Since then, he’s bounced around from the Giants to the Saints, Cardinals, and back to New York. He’ll now add some depth in Cleveland.
Anderson finds his away to Jacksonville shortly after getting waived by the division-rival Colts yesterday. The Texas Tech-product saw his biggest contribution in 12 games with two starts in 2022 for the Giants.
Like Davis and Anderson, Nickerson has bounced between several teams since entering the NFL. After being drafted by the Jets in the sixth round of the 2018 NFL Draft, Nickerson has spent a year apiece with New York, the Jaguars, the Packers, the Vikings, and most recently, the Dolphins, also spending part of 2019 with the Seahawks. He joins his seventh team in six years with Philadelphia.
Minor NFL Transactions: 6/6/24
Here are Thursday’s minor moves:
Indianapolis Colts
- Signed: CB Clay Fields III, WR Derek Slywka
- Placed on IR: S Daniel Scott
- Waived: C Jack Anderson
Jacksonville Jaguars
- Reverted to IR: WR David White
Kansas City Chiefs
- Waived: RB Hassan Hall
New England Patriots
- Signed: WR JaQuae Jackson
- Waived: WR T.J. Luther
New York Jets
- Waived/failure to disclose physical condition: DL Tyreek Johnson
The Colts chose Scott in the 2023 fifth round, but they will see him miss a second full season due to injury. Scott suffered a torn Achilles during OTAs last week, per the Indianapolis Star’s Joel Erickson. This marks the second time Scott has gone down before Colts training camp; he sustained an ACL tear during spring workouts last year. The Colts chose Scott 158th overall out of Cal.
Best known for a 12-game Giants tenure that featured two starts in 2022, Anderson found his way to the Colts last year. The team used the young O-lineman in one game and extended him in March. A seventh-round Bills draftee in 2021, Anderson also started a game for the Eagles in 2021.
Minor NFL Transactions: 3/5/24
Today’s minor moves:
Indianapolis Colts
- Extended: C Jack Anderson
Miami Dolphins
- Signed: DT Isaiah Mack
Minnesota Vikings
- Re-signed: TE Nick Muse
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Signed: WR Deven Thompkins, OL Brandon Walton
The Colts are keeping Jack Anderson around, with Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 in Houston passing along that the lineman has inked a one-year extension with the organization. Anderson was waived by the Giants at the end of the 2023 preseason and caught on with Indy. He spent the majority of the season on the practice squad, getting into a single game for the Colts. In total, the 25-year-old has appeared in 15 career games (three starts).

San Francisco 49ers

Seattle Seahawks
- Waived: WR Cody Thompson
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Waived: DL Pat O’Connor
Kareem, who was just activated off of injured reserve, is being waived to make room for defensive end Montez Sweat, acquired by trade this morning. The Bears also announced a practice squad release, indicating a possible return for Kareem on that unit. The Colts are expected to do the same with Boettger.
O’Connor will lose his active roster spot to make room for quarterback John Wolford, whom Tampa Bay officially promoted today in order to ward off interest parties such as the Rams and Vikings, both of whom are experiencing injury issues at quarterback.
