There is nothing more any Carolina Panthers player can do to improve their chances of an extended stay beyond the campaign. Head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan have seen all they need before trimming down the fat, and some tough decisions are upcoming in key position groups.
Carolina concluded its preseason slate with a defeat to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Going 0-3 leading into the campaign isn't ideal, but Canales is renowned for treating this stage of preparations with extreme caution. And it represented one final opportunity for those on the fringes to leave a positive mark.
