CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Carolina Panthers must cut their roster to 75 by 4 p.m. ET Tuesday (Aug. 30) and to 53 by 4 p.m. ET Saturday (Sept. 3). Here’s a final 53-man roster projection.
Comment: Why keep a third quarterback when Newton has missed only two starts in five seasons and Anderson is a reliable backup? Simple. Webb can play quarterback, wide receiver and special teams.
Comment: This position hasn't changed from last year, except that Artis-Payne appears ready to step up if something happens to Stewart.
Fullback (1): Mike Tolbert
Comment: The Panthers had high hopes for undrafted rookie Devon Johnson, nicknamed "Rockhead", but a back injury ended his preseason prematurely.
