Panthers expected to cut veteran WR David Moore before roster deadline

The Carolina Panthers must finalize their roster by August 30, trimming down from 90 players to 53. ESPN's Mike Kaye anticipates that David Moore, a favorite of head coach Dave Canales, will not make the team. Moore is among several wide receivers competing for a spot, with notable performances from Tetairoa McMillan, Jalen Coker, and Xavier Legette solidifying their positions. With Chris Brazzell II undergoing season-ending surgery, the competition has intensified, placing Moore's future in doubt as the team also considers John Metchie III as a potential addition to the roster. The Panthers' decision will come just days before the regular season begins.
