Panthers waived/released WR Dan Chisena, DT Kyon Barrs, WR Elijah Cooks, RB Miles Davis, DT Tywone Malone, TE Caden Prieskorn, WR Roc Taylor, and OL Ryan Hayes.
A linchpin NFL special teamer since 2020, Chisena had been with the Panthers since 2024. He made only seven regular season appearances in Charlotte, suggesting he might ultimately be a poor bet to land back on the 53-man roster this year.
