From Jets. 

CHARLOTTE — The Panthers added a running back Tuesday, picking up Trenton Cannon off waivers after he was cut by the Jets on Monday.

A sixth-round pick of the Jets in the 2018 draft, Cannon appeared in all 16 games as a reserve running back as a rookie and played 19 percent of New York's offensive snaps. But the Virginia State product dealt with foot and ankle injuries last year and was placed on injured reserve Nov. 1.

Cannon, who's listed at 5-foot-11 and 185 pounds, had 38 carries for 113 yards with a touchdown as a rookie. He also caught 17 passes for 144 yards. He did not have any offensive touches in 2019 but did take five kick returns for 96 yards.

The Panthers roster now stands at 80 players.

The Panthers claimed running back Trenton Cannon off waivers on Tuesday. A sixth-round pick by the Jets in 2018, Cannon fills the roster spot opened when edge rusher Christian Miller opted out of this season due to Covid-19 concerns. He brings the roster back to 80

Good move.  In addition to his ability as a kick returner, you can see the evolution of having more "positionless" skill players on offense.

I honestly this year would not be surprised if Curtis Samuel has the 2nd most carries behind CMC.

I am excited about the versatility of our backs and WRs this year.  However, it means nothing if the offensive line cannot perform better.

I'm down for watching us lose a lot of high-scoring games this year.  2011 was way more exciting than any other 6-10 season in memory (honestly I hope we win less than 4 to have a chance at a top QB).

Definitely interested to see how Brady uses Samuel. I've always felt like we could be using him in more innovative ways given his background. I'd love to see some formations with him and CMC in the backfield together. Both could potentially take a handoff, be a receiver out of the backfield, or motion out wide.

      Jared Feinberg's Falcons v Panthers film breakdown

      No, I’m sorry but the Huddle gospel was that Moore was worthless and was only on the roster because he was butt buddies with the HC

      The Panthers did a great job of countering the Falcons' pass rush in the run game. They utilized veteran wideout David Moore, a good run blocker on the perimeter, as the motion man to help with crack-toss plays and trap blocks. It was also interesting to see more Sean McVay wide zone concepts in Canales’ version, especially with the “insert” concept that is a table in these systems.   Second-year cornerback Chau Smith-Wade didn’t come out of the gates hot, but settled in and put forth a fine performance. His spacing in zone coverage tightened up and it began to have an impact later on—like on his pick-six of quarterback Michael Penix Jr. He also showcased good matching capabilities while having some impressive man reps and tackles in space. You have to appreciate how well Ejiro Evero’s defense rallied to the football. Some runs that would, in the past, go for chunk yardage were contained. Tackling was improved on all three levels of the field. Wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan was once again the leader in receiving yards (48) on Sunday, but he struggled away from the box score with a couple of drops. As head coach Dave Canales noted Monday afternoon, the Falcons did a great job staying in phases on McMillan, especially at the top of routes. Rookie safety Lathan Ransom showed more flashes of control as a tackler. He continues to show the physicality that is needed in Evero’s defense while having the athleticism and downhill burst to click and close sideline to sideline or north/south. https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/09/23/panthers-film-review-falcons-week-3/86308214007/

      Something positive (defense)

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      Horn + Jackson + Smith-Wade might be the best CB trio we've had in a minute.
