Panthers 53-man roster: Where biggest needs remain, plus bottom of WR group gets new look

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Analyzing NFL roster cuts shortly after they happen is a caveat-filled endeavor because of all the comings and goings that happen in the 24 hours after initial rosters are set. Bottom of receiver group gets a makeover A day after Canales called wide receiver the team’s strongest position group coming out of training camp, the Panthers kept seven wideouts. The Panthers also kept undrafted free agent Jalen Coker, the Holy Cross all-time receiving leader who they didn’t want to risk losing on waivers. That group includes Coker, undrafted center Andrew Raym, undrafted safety Demani Richardson, second-year guard Chandler Zavala and rookie defensive lineman Jaden Crumedy, a sixth-round pick who has been sidelined with a high ankle sprain.
