CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) – The Carolina Panthers trimmed their roster to 53 players on Saturday – and they aren’t done making moves.
The Panthers, who have first dibs on all waiver claims, kept only three cornerbacks and three defensive tackles, so they’ll be looking for help outside the organization at those two positions in the next day or two.
The most notable cuts included defensive tackles Corvey Irvin and Nick Hayden, running backs Tyrell Sutton and Josh Vaughan, and fullback Tony Fiammetta.
The Panthers also cut wide receivers Wallace Wright, Charly Martin, Darvin Adams and Jamorris Warren; tight end Greg Smith; offensive linemen Ryan Pugh, Jacob Bender and John Gianninoto; defensive linemen Malcolm Tatum, Ugo Chinasa and DelJuan Robinson; linebackers Lawrence Wilson and Sean Ware; cornerbacks Robert McClain, Chevis Jackson, C.J. Wilson and Kendric Burney; safety Michael Greco and kicker Adi Kunalic.
