Looks like the full list is up at Panthers.com

CHARLOTTE – Wide receiver Brenton Bersin heads four contributors from Carolina's 2014 season who are poised to join the Panthers' practice squad after agreeing to contract terms with the team.

Bersin, linebacker Adarius Glanton, cornerback Carrington Byndom and offensive tackle David Foucault are among the 10 players agreeing to terms. All 10, including a pair of rookies in wide receiver Damiere Byrd and linebacker Brian Blechen, were with the Panthers throughout the preseason and were on Carolina's 75-man roster before it was cut to 53 on Saturday.

Here are Bill Voth's brief comments about the PS members:

http://blackandbluereview.com/carolina-panthers-2015-practice-squad/

  • WR Brenton Bersin – Makes sense to keep around the WR who knows the offense best; spent all of 2013 on practice squad.
  • WR Damiere Byrd – Raw, but showed potential all spring and summer.
  • TE Scott Simonson – Does a lot of things well, but not great.
  • OT David Foucault – Project Canada continues.
  • DE Rakim Cox – Flashed in preseason against backups, but often overmatched versus better competition.
  • DT Chas Alecxih – A bit of a surprise he got a spot over Terry Redden.
  • LB Brian Blechen – Converted college safety had a quiet camp.
  • LB Adarius Glanton – After he played in 12 games as an undrafted rookie, this was likely one of the tougher cuts.
  • CB Carrington Byndom – Spent first 12 games on last year’s practice squad before getting called up for five appearances, including the playoffs.
  • CB Lou Young – Had some nice moments in May, but hamstring injury in camp killed his chances.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By Navy_football · Posted

      It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By Navy_football · Posted

      If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
