The Carolina Panthers have announced a series of injury-related roster moves ahead of 2020 training camp.
Here is a quick review of what’s going on.
OT Greg Little
2019 second-round pick Greg Little’s development continues to be hindered by health issues. Little missed 12 games as a rookie due to several injuries and will begin this one on the sidelines. According to the team website, Little will start training camp on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list after he failed his physical.
OT Branden Bowen
In related news, the undrafted rookie Branden Bowen will begin on the active/reserve list with a non-football illness.
OT Juwann Bushell-Beatty
Carolina will begin camp down three tackles, in fact. Former Michigan lineman Juwann Bushell-Beatty has been waived.
LB Jordan Mack
The Panthers have their first opt-out of the year due to the pandemic. Former Virginia linebacker Jordan Mack has decided to sit out his rookie season. This might explain why the team added two linebackers yesterday, bringing back Adarius Taylor and picking up Kyahva Tezino off waivers from the Patriots.
P Michael Palardy
In case you missed it, earlier NFL Network reported that the team put punter Michael Palardy on the reserve/NFI list, ending his 2020 season. Apparently, Palardy tore his ACL at some point this offseason and will undergo surgery. South Carolina’s own Joseph Charlton projects as the new starting punter.
