The third preseason game is typically the final test that determines who the starters are and sets the team up for the cuts. While it's very early to predict the roster I thought I'd take an early crack anyway based on what we've seen from the first two preseason games and heard out of camp. You'll also notice that I'm choosing to give a few spots to players currently not on the team, guys who the Panthers will pick up from other team's cuts.
