The Carolina Panthers have made strategic moves to bolster their defensive lineup and release a veteran quarterback. The team has added an undrafted rookie from SMU, marking him as the 12th rookie on the active roster and the seventh defensive lineman. This addition joins a formidable group of starters, including Derrick Brown, A'Shawn Robinson, Tershawn Wharton, Bobby Brown III, LaBryan Ray, and Cam Jackson.
To accommodate this new player, the Panthers waived veteran quarterback Mike White, who was the emergency third quarterback last week in Green Bay. Despite his absence from the injury report this week, White's release is a strategic move, as the team aims to create space for new talent. The Panthers also activated practice squad wide receiver Dan Chisena to the active roster for Week 10, providing depth and special teams expertise. With Chisena's addition, the team now has Tetairoa McMillan and Brycen Tremayne listed as questionable on the final injury report, indicating potential adjustments to the lineup.
