6:12 PM: The Panthers have cut CB Robert McClain. Waiting for the rest of Carolina’s cuts.
5:09 PM: The Eagles have released CB Joselio Hanson. I can’t imagine for the life of me why the Panthers would try to sign him. He’s been in the defense and it fits a need. He’s not subject to waivers, so there might be a little bit of a bidding war between Arizona, Cleveland and Carolina, among others.
3:13 PM: The Panthers have cut WR Jamorris Warren and LB Lawrence Wilson, who was a sixth-round pick.
2:15 PM: The Panthers have released CB C.J. Wilson. That puts the roster at 64. I’m told they cut one other cornerback besides Kendrick Burney. I’ll let you know soon. Of course, the Panthers will look to add a cornerback at some point.
2:05 PM: DE Ugo Chinasa and OT Jacob Bender, a pair of undrafted rookies, have been cut. Roster at 65. I’m hearing the Panthers will keep DE Thomas Keiser — at least for now. They have five DEs — Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy, Everette Brown, Eric Norwood and Keiser. Of course, they could replace Keiser if someone else comes available, which is entirely possible.
1:32 PM: Another Auburn guy is released. OL Ryan Pugh is gone. Roster at 67. 14 to go. I’ll keep working.
12:34 PM: No surprise here, but the Panthers have cut undrafted rookie K Adi Kunalic from Nebraska. Roster at 68.
12:24 PM: The Panthers have cut LB Sean Ware. We’re at 69.
11:51 AM: The Panthers have cut WR Darvin Adams and DE Malcolm Tatum, a pair of undrafted rookies. The Panthers hope to bring Adams back on the practice squad Sunday. Adams played with Cam Newton at Auburn. Roster at 70.
11:45 AM: The Panthers have cut OL John Gianninoto, according to a league source. Roster at 72.
11:40 AM: TE Dante Rosario was cut by Denver.
11:37 AM: The Panthers have cut CB Kendric Burney, an undrafted rookie UNC. They would like to bring him back on the practice squad. That brings the roster to 73.
11:35 AM: OT Garry Williams had surgery on his ankle this week and is expected to head to injured reserve,
11:34 AM: Just learned that at least one undrafted rookie will make the roster. The Panthers plan to keep OT Byron Bell.
10:20 AM: The Panthers have cut DTs Nick Hayden, Corvey Irvin and DelJuan Robinson, according to league sources. That leaves them with only three DTs on the roster. The Panthers kept rookie draft picks Terrell McClain, Sione Fua and Andre Neblett, which means they will almost certainly add a veteran defensive tackle at some point.
With Tyrell Sutton cut earlier, the Panthers are down to

9:10 AM: I had d a feeling when RB Josh Vaughan was getting reps over Tyrell Sutton that Sutton might be on his way out.
And now he is. Sutton announced on his Twitter site, that he’s been released.
“It’s the nature of the beast,” Sutton wrote. “Can’t take it personally.”
Sutton also thanked DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart, Mike Goodson and Tony Fiammetta, saying, “”Y’all my brothers n Y’all have no idea how much I’ll miss ya. Thx 4 takin me in.”
That could mean the Panthers are keeping Josh Vaughan or two fullbacks (Tony Fiammetta and Jerome Felton) or both. We’ll see
The Panthers have 25 more cuts to go get down to 53.
Stay tuned.
