The preseason is mercifully over for the Carolina Panthers, who went 0-3 and didn't look particularly impressive at any point except for one touchdown drive led by Bryce Young against the Browns. While the 2025 draft class looked strong, there wasn't much else to like - including the team's quarterback depth getting exposed in a bad way.

The preseason slate has been completed. Now it’s time to cut the roster down to 53 players. Our first and final projection is ready to go.

Wide receiver Lance McCutcheon caught the Steelers’ lone touchdown of the night and finished with three catches for 52 yards. He has a good build at 6’2, 202 pounds, and has a viable path to the practice squad now that Roc Taylor is out of the picture.
