The Carolina Panthers face a roster challenge after Chris Brazzell II was injured and lost for the season. This leaves Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker as key receivers, while Xavier Legette also secures a role. Moe Moton of Bleacher Report suggests cutting Jimmy Horn Jr., but many see this as a poor choice given the team’s depth issues. Horn had a modest start last season, recording 11 receptions and 108 yards, and with Brazzell's injury, the team might require his skills in a thin wide receiver corps. The Panthers are weighing their options as the season approaches.
