CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Panthers have waived backup running back C.J. Anderson, a 1,000-yard rusher last season with the Broncos.
Anderson played in nine games for Carolina and had 104 yards rushing on 24 carries. He had one reception for a 24-yard touchdown.
Carolina signed running back Travaris Cadet on Monday to replace Anderson on the roster.
Panthers general manager Marty Hurney says “when we signed C.J. in the spring I think he saw his role evolving into more. But Christian (McCaffrey) has taken the majority of the role here.”
Hurney says Anderson did not ask to be traded or released.
