Panthers Cut Zavala, Young Now Lone 2023 Pick
1 Sep
Summary
- Chandler Zavala waived after three seasons and 14 starts.
- Bryce Young is now the sole remaining 2023 draft pick on roster.
- Tyrel Dodson reportedly agreed to join the practice squad.
The Carolina Panthers have finalized their 53-player roster, implementing several changes following the preseason wrap-up. A notable move was waiving guard Chandler Zavala, a former fourth-round pick.
Zavala's departure after three seasons and 14 starts leaves quarterback Bryce Young as the sole remaining draft pick from the Panthers' 2023 class. This class has faced challenges overall, with Young entering a pivotal year for his career.
Further roster adjustments included adding center Caleb Bullock off waivers and reportedly agreeing to sign inside linebacker Tyrel Dodson to the practice squad. Offensive lineman Brady Christensen was placed on injured reserve, sidelining him for at least the first four games.
The Panthers are scheduled to commence their 2026 NFL season by hosting the Chicago Bears in Week 1.
