Panthers quietly send Pro Bowler packing before crucial playoff return
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Hunter Renfrow | Kara Durrette/GettyImagesHunter Renfrow's return to the NFL after a one-year absence due to illness was among the most heartwarming stories of the summer. Unfortunately, his on-field impact with the Carolina Panthers was minimal, and he's not going to come along for the playoff ride.
The Panthers waived Renfrow after fellow wide receiver David Moore proved healthy enough to be activated from injured reserve. This was an abrupt yet inevitable end to the Pro Bowler's time in Carolina, where he's gone from an early-season starter to an afterthought in the blink of an eye.
