Panthers finalize 53-man roster including undrafted rookie Aaron Hall

The Carolina Panthers set their initial 53-man roster on Sunday ahead of the league's deadline. General manager Dan Morgan opted to carry six defensive tackles, with undrafted free agent Aaron Hall earning a spot on the team. The decision followed a trade with the Los Angeles Chargers to acquire defensive tackle TeRah Edwards in exchange for a 2028 sixth-round draft pick. Other roster moves included the release of wide receivers David Moore and Ja'seem Reed, along with linebacker Trevin Wallace and tight end James Mitchell. Rookie offensive tackle Albert Reese IV also made the cut, marking the third consecutive year an undrafted rookie has secured a roster spot under the current front office. Released players may potentially return as part of the team's 16-man practice squad beginning Monday.
