The Carolina Panthers just made some major roster moves Tuesday, dropping four players and immediately adding two to their practice squad. The headline move? Running back Anthony “Tre” Tyus III got waived from the active roster, which is a wild development considering his recent play.
Tyus III Is Out, Who’s In?
Tyus has been with Carolina for much of the last two seasons, but his 2026 campaign was short and sweet in terms of appearances. He hit the field in just two games on kick return duties: the Week 3 loss to the Cleveland Browns and, get this, the Week 4 win over the Detroit Lions. In those two games, he racked up 127 yards on five attempts. That’s solid production for someone just returning kicks, right? Yet, he’s out. With Tyus gone, the Panthers now have two open spots on their 53-man roster. And it sounds like head coach Dave Canales already has a plan for at least one of them. He alluded Monday that second-year running back and returner Trevor Etienne, who started the season on injured reserve, is expected to fill one of those vacancies.
Practice Squad Shuffle
The Panthers weren’t done there. They also released offensive lineman Isaia Glass, outside linebacker Jeremiah Moon, and cornerback Robert Rochell from their practice squad. But they didn’t leave those spots empty for long. Carolina wasted no time bringing in some fresh talent, signing outside linebacker Nick Hampton and cornerback Marco Wilson to the practice squad. It is a quick turnaround, signaling they’re always looking to keep that roster competitive.
