Carolina Panthers coach Dave Canales discussed roster decisions following their 16-13 preseason win against the Houston Texans. Quarterback Haynes King's impressive performance in the Hall of Fame Game may not be enough to secure a place on the 53-man roster, as he is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury. Canales stated that limited game exposure complicates the evaluation process for King and other players. The Panthers must finalize their roster by 6:00 p.m. ET on Sunday, with cuts expected to begin on Saturday.
