According to reports, Zack Sanchez is the first of Carolina’s cuts to get the roster to the NFL’s mandated 53 players.
Panthers have waived second-year CB Zack Sanchez, who was playing well but left Thurs. game with a groin issue.

It’s possible that Sanchez will find his way back onto the Panthers after he clears waivers, where Carolina could put him on injured reserve. If not, I’m sure someone will pick him up and take a flier on him because he does have some talent. I think he was just injured at the worst possible time last night.
Sanchez’s departure bodes well for Cole Luke, who was competing with Sanchez for a roster spot and had a pretty decent preseason for the Panthers.
Stay tuned as the cuts continue to roll in, and be sure to follow along in our Roster Cuts Tracker.
