The Carolina Panthers released defensive back Rashaan Gaulden, their third-round pick in the 2018 draft. The Panthers announced his release on Monday; it followed a rough day against the New Orleans Saints in which Gaulden ran into teammate D.J. Moore on a punt return, disrupting the catch and giving the ball back to New Orleans. He later started a brief fight after a kickoff return by shoving Saints safety Justin Hardee to the ground after the whistle.
These mistakes were the latest in a series of problems Gaulden has had this year, per a report from The Athletic’s Jourdan Rodrigue.
