Effective Wednesday after Patriots practice.....
The Panthers have added LB Josh Watson as a FA signing. Watson was on Panthers Practice Squad last year. Watson played two years with the Broncos and also spent some time with the Charges and the Texans. Watson is probably just a "place-holder" for the next couple of pre-season games to help absorb some of the practice iterations before week one. There are two more "cuts" coming down the road. First one on August 23rd, and then the last BIG one on August 30th. Watson could have a 'future' on the Practice Squad again this year. The next two weeks will tell the tale.
To 'make room' on the 85 roster, the Panthers released TE Ryan Izzo. Izzo was just 'added' last week, so his time here was decidedly "short", so to speak. That means both of the TEs that the Panthers 'added' last week have now been 'UN-added' this week. Some of this will "shake out" over the next week or so in preparation for the roster 'cut-down' to 80 players. THEN....one more week until FINAL cuts take place on the 30th.
