The Panthers’ interior offensive line depth likely will consist of younger players this year after veterans Gino Gradkowski and Chris Scott failed to make the 53-man roster.
Gradkowski, who had knee surgery last year, will be placed on injured reserve with a back injury, while Scott was released after being sidelined the past two-plus weeks with a concussion.
Tyler Larsen, who started at center the last six games in 2016, was a lock to make the roster as Ryan Kalil’s backup. But Saturday’s moves likely mean a relatively unknown player could get the final offensive line spot, unless the Panthers find help outside the organization.
