Carolina Panthers camp: 4 offensive players on the roster bubble
By Dean Jones
Which offensive players find themselves on the 53-man roster bubble for the Carolina Panthers following the first week of training camp?
Training camp is now in full swing for the Carolina Panthers as preparations gather pace for the new season. This has been a welcome distraction from everything else going on across the country. And everything looks ready to get underway on time despite fears surrounding COVID-19.
This is a campaign that could go either way for the Carolina Panthers. So many changes across the board normally take some time to see results. And their task will not have been aided by a lack of OTAs, minicamps, or preseason games before their Week 1 opener against the Las Vegas Raiders.
New head coach Matt Rhule is fully aware of just what a sizeable task he faces trying to turn around the fortunes of the franchise instantly. Rebuilds of this magnitude take two or three successful offseason periods before seeing any real postseason push. But there is little denying that the former Baylor man has a formidable reputation when it comes to taking on this sort of project.
Some tough calls are upcoming for Rhule and other decision-makers within the franchise. Cutting players is all part of the NFL’s ruthless business. And this year promises to be tougher than ever with only team drills to go off.
The Panthers’ offense appears loaded with playmakers everywhere you look. But there will be those on the fringes who will be taking nervous glances over their shoulders in the coming weeks.
Here are four offensive players that currently find themselves on the roster bubble in Carolina.
