Panthers' Strategic Moves: Waiving a Defensive Back and Opening Up an Offensive Lineman's Spot
CHARLOTTE — The Panthers are making strategic moves, with an eye on future adjustments. On Tuesday, they waived defensive back Trevian Thomas, who was recently signed to the active roster from the practice squad.
This move creates a spot on the 53-man roster, indicating potential upcoming changes. Additionally, the team plans to open the window for offensive lineman Austin Corbett on Wednesday. Corbett has been on the injured reserve list since Week 2 due to a knee injury, and his return would provide much-needed depth to an offensive line that has seen five different combinations in just six weeks.
The Panthers also released offensive lineman Darrian Dalencourt from the practice squad, who was signed just last week. These moves demonstrate the team's proactive approach to managing their roster and addressing potential weaknesses. With these changes, the Panthers are positioning themselves for future success, ensuring they have the right players in the right roles.
