Panthers Announce Roster Moves
The Panthers are the latest team to announced their initial wave of roster cuts. Carolina will need to make further transactions in order to comply with the 53-man roster maximum on Saturday.
The following players were cut by the Panthers today:
Released:
Waived:
- DT Tracy Sprinkle

None of Carolina’s cuts should come as much of a surprise, although there was some thought Clausell might stick on the club’s roster given its injuries along the offensive line.
