The Carolina Panthers initial 53-man roster is set, but questions still exist in the Queen City.
from the 90 players they carried in the preseason to the 53 men that will get the first crack at preparing for the 2024 NFL regular season. Dozens of practices and meetings, four weeks of training camp, three preseason games, and a number of difficult conversations have led to this point in the NFL offseason. The Panthers roster looks much better than it did in January, but questions still exist. Let's dive in.
The options to start at outside linebacker opposite of Clowney leave much to be desired. DJ Johnson, K'Lavon Chaisson, and Eku Leota, the only three non-Clowney outside linebackers named to the, all bring different skills to the table. However, none of them are the consistent pass-rushing options that successful NFL defenses need in the pass-happy modern NFL.
In his stead, the Panthers kept Jalen Coker around. Coker, an undrafted free agent out of Holy Cross, is the biggest surprise on the initial 53-man roster. He's had a quiet training camp , but apparently he showed enough to stick around. I'd be shocked if this is the end of the jockeying among Panthers wide receivers. I feel safe predicting that another move or two will happen with that group before the plane to New Orleans takes off in two weeks.The Panthers kept 10 defensive backs on their initial roster, Five cornerbacks, and five safeties. Jammie Robinson was the biggest surprise on the defensive depth chart, although his impressive preseason performance turned heads around the Queen City.
