Then there were 80.
The Carolina Panthers made a series of moves Monday and Tuesday to trim their roster down to 80 players ahead of the NFL’s second cut deadline at 4 p.m.
On Tuesday, the Panthers announced they waived cut defensive end Kendall Donnerson and released veteran defensive tackle Caraun Reid.
The news comes a day after the Panthers announced that they had waived wide receiver Krishawn Hogan, offensive guard Marquel Harrell and defensive tackle Walter Palmore.
The Panthers signed Harrell and Palmer last week. They signed Hogan earlier in camp after a tryout. The Panthers practiced Monday for the first time since their preseason game on Saturday, and all players participated before being cut.
The Panthers must cut their roster down to 53 players by Aug. 31.
