Panthers evaluate released NFL players to address remaining roster depth concerns

The Carolina Panthers continue to finalize their roster ahead of the 6:00 p.m. ET deadline this Saturday. Having already added veteran linebacker Bobby Okereke and tight end Darren Waller, the team is exploring further options from recent waiver and release transactions. Potential targets to address offensive line depth include guard Brandon Walton, a former member of the unit released by the Atlanta Falcons. The team also faces needs at edge rusher and safety, with Jamil Muhammad and Taylor Rapp identified as available options following their releases by the Cleveland Browns and Denver Broncos, respectively. Additionally, linebacker Tyrel Dodson is available after his release from Miami. These roster decisions follow earlier preseason struggles with interior offensive line pressure and defensive personnel gaps as Carolina prepares for the upcoming NFL season.
