Tuesday Panthers Cuts....

[Jeremy Igo]

The Panthers need to cut 8 players today by 4:00pm eastern time to get to the 75 player limit. 

[Moorgan]

So at 4:01 pm is when KB goes on IR? Is that right? Would that put us at 74 immediately and then allow us to make a move right then? Just wondering about the mechanics of this.

[Jeremy Igo]

yes,  along with possibly others. Keep an eye on colin jones

[uncfan888]

Yeah..  I think Jones is done for the year..  That hurts ST

[nctarheel0619]

Any kind of good news would be nice at this point.  

[London Loves Luke]

Looks like Melvin White is gone:

[dldove77]

I'd count this as surprising. 

[Lemory]

I always felt that Melvin could play safety. 

[dldove77]

He wasn't a world beater, but he was a serviceable backup. 

[KB_fan]

He was not playing any ST.  Here's the comparison / playtime from Friday night. (Depth was my own estimate, you can ignore...)

I think I read Lou Young is now recovered from his injury?  or at least close.

Depth	injury	Name	Pos	Def snaps	Def%	ST snaps	ST %	TOTAL SNAPS
1		Norman	CB	32	54%	4	15%	36
3		Benwikere	CB	31	53%	3	11%	34
4		Williams, T	CB	27	46%	14	52%	41
5.2		White	CB	19	32%			19
5.1		Heath	CB	18	31%	8	30%	26
2		Tillman	CB	15	25%	2	7%	17
		Byndom	CB	9	15%	3	11%	12
	injured	Young	CB

Good news for Heath probably

[Proudiddy]

Wow, that one was a surprise.   I thought Melvin was an excellent role player.  Heath may have a Disney movie made after him after the final 53 is announced. 

[London Loves Luke]

I'm sure he'll be picked up, he's a physical corner with good experience.

[KB_fan]

I'm sure he'll be picked up, he's a physical corner with good experience.

Very likely. I hope he does well.

Certainly this is the only real surprise of the Panthers cuts so far.
