Could be, especially if info about Miley heading to short-term IR is incorrect. But, the question is even if he makes it today, will he STILL be there in a few days once we've looked through other teams' cuts? Igo seems pretty convinced another transaction is in the works.

Well the good news is that the final cuts should be posted within the next 10 - 20 minutes since the deadline is 4 p.m. Eastern. So not much longer to wait!

Here's the running tally from the Observer: http://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/carolina-panthers/nfl-blog/article34165452.html Add to this list Jordan Todman who's release was also announced by Twitter. That makes 15 cuts, with 7 remaining. PANTHERS CUTS (updated 1:40 p.m.) WR Brenton Bersin WR Mike Brown TE Marcus Lucas S Marcus Ball TE Scott Simonson (a likely candidate for the practice squad) DT Terry Redden T David Foucault (a likely candidate for the practice squad) LB Adarius Glanton (a possible addition to the practice squad if he clears waivers) LB Brian Blechen WR Damiere Byrd (another practice squad possibility) DE Rakim Cox CB T.J. Heath DT Chas Alecxih OL Ricky Henry

Hmmm.... Jonathan Jones ‏@jjones9 3m3 minutes ago Tell you what's been weird: Outside of Wegher I don't think a single Panthers player has tweeted or IG'd whether he's staying or going today 0 retweets 3 favorites

I think he might have been, along with Trusnik, but I'm definitely not an expert in the comp pick calculations, just going by what I've read over the past few months. Let me see if I can find the thread where this was discussed.

So, with news that Mayo is on the 53, based on today's confirmations (B. Williams, Chandler, Silatolu, etc.), this is my best guess as to the final 53, sorted by position. Only 4 CBs (3 of whom are injured at the moment) and 4 WRs (+ Webb who I guess counts as a 5th). Anyone see any others who would be cut? Miley can't be put on the short-term IR until tomorrow if I understand correctly.

Of that list, I assume the last space is between Brown, Mayo or either of the CBs. A space would open up when Miley is moved to IR. But of course we may also be adding people from Waivers or trades...

OK, I've been looking at the roster. With news that Ricky Henry has just been cut, by my calculations, there are 8 on the bubble, and only 1 of these 8 will make the roster: Brown, CoreyWR5'11185232 Byndom, CarringtonCB6'0180231 Folkerts, BrianC6'4310253 Mayo, DavidLB6'2240220 McCray, JordanG6'3320231 Trusnik, JasonLB6'4250319 Wallace, MartinT6'6330252 Young, LouCB6'1205231

Surprised at this: Joe Person ‏@josephperson 34s34 seconds ago Backup LB and special teams ace Ben Jacobs makes #Panthers' 53, per source. that leaves us with 7 LBs unless Mayo or Trusnik are cut. If any LBs are cut, I'd predict Trusnik. What do you all think?

Nice tweet from B. Wegher Brandon Wegher ‏@B_Wegher 4m4 minutes ago With the right mindset, u can accomplish anything. Determination will carry u anywhere. Im truly blessed. Thanks 4 the support from everyone

Jonathan Jones ‏@jjones9 4m4 minutes ago TE Brandon Williams remains on the 53-man roster Joe Person ‏@josephperson 3m3 minutes ago Joe Person retweeted Jonathan Jones (re: B. Williams) 20 special teams reps vs. #Steelers was a good sign.

Well... this tweet will annoy quite a few here I imagine: Black & Blue Review ‏@BlackBlueReview 1m1 minute ago These weren’t guaranteed, so … Amini Silatolu and Nate Chandler both made the 53.

Interesting that Observer doesn't yet have Todman on their list. I guess they missed that one. So with Todman, 14 cuts down, 8 to go. PANTHERS CUTS (updated 11:45 a.m.) WR Brenton Bersin WR Mike Brown TE Marcus Lucas S Marcus Ball TE Scott Simonson (a likely candidate for the practice squad) DT Terry Redden T David Foucault (a likely candidate for the practice squad) LB Adarius Glanton (a possible addition to the practice squad if he clears waivers) LB Brian Blechen WR Damiere Byrd (another practice squad possibility) DE Rakim Cox CB T.J. Heath DT Chas Alecxih

OK, shocked about Heath, especially with our injuries at CB Joe Person ‏@josephperson 1m1 minute ago #Panthers have released DT Chas Alecxih and CB T.J. Heath, per league source. Don't be surprised to see Alecxih back on practice squad. 3 retweets 1 favorite

You definitely deserve to give me an "I Told You so" 15. Good call. I gave you Pie.

Ok, I really AM surprised. I thought Todman had beaten Fozzy. Maybe, as someone else already said today, G'man might really want that comp pick next year.

Black & Blue Review ‏@BlackBlueReview 8s9 seconds ago #Panthers are planning to release RB Jordan Todman. That’s a surprise after his strong camp and preseason. Whittaker and/or Ginn KRs?

I don't remember this much drama on cuts day last year...!

Here's the latest list per the Observer: http://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/carolina-panthers/nfl-blog/article34165452.html PANTHERS CUTS (updated 11:45 a.m.) WR Brenton Bersin WR Mike Brown TE Marcus Lucas S Marcus Ball TE Scott Simonson (a likely candidate for the practice squad) DT Terry Redden T David Foucault (a likely candidate for the practice squad) LB Adarius Glanton (a possible addition to the practice squad if he clears waivers) LB Brian Blechen WR Damiere Byrd (another practice squad possibility) DE Rakim Cox

He's our only FB. Bene, Norman, & lots of OLine "sure things" played, as did Shaq, Funchess

Next cut: Cox Joe Person ‏@josephperson 55s56 seconds ago #Panthers cut DE Rakim Cox. He could be back on practice squad if he clears waivers. Had 2 sacks in preseason.

Other sources are picking up on the Marlowe news: Joe Person ‏@josephperson 5m5 minutes ago Former James Madison safety Dean Marlowe has made the Panthers 53-man roster, according to a source. Jonathan Jones ‏@jjones9 5m5 minutes ago Rivera basically said practice squad [for Marlowe] last week but injuries/interest may have put him on final Joe Person ‏@josephperson 4m4 minutes ago That's three undrafted rookie's for the Panthers. Marlowe, Miley, and Wegher. Black & Blue Review ‏@BlackBlueReview 1m1 minute ago #Panthers interest in Marlowe this spring was very similar to Corey Brown in ’14. Would’ve used late pick, but then priority UDFA.
