CHARLOTTE – Rookie cornerback Zack Sanchez and rookie tight end Beau Sandland, the two 2016 draft picks waived in the final roster cutdown, head the Panthers' 10-man practice squad.
The Panthers also signed two of their undrafted rookies. Wide receiver Keyarris Garrett showed significant signs of progress late in the preseason, and running back Jalen Simmons - a Charlotte native - ran hard throughout the offseason.
All of the players added to the practice squad went through training camp and preseason with Carolina. Safety Marcus Ball and linebacker Brian Blechen were on Carolina's practice squad at the close of last season.
