With NFL roster cuts approaching on August 29, the Carolina Panthers are expected to make tough decisions. According to a 53-man roster projection by Joe Person at The Athletic, tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders could be at risk of being cut. The signing of veteran Darren Waller shifts the competition for roster spots, potentially leaving Sanders as the odd man out. His performance over two seasons includes 62 catches for 532 yards and two touchdowns, with a low success rate of 53.2%. Key players like Tommy Tremble and Feleipe Franks currently have the edge for the final roster.
