4 questions about the Panthers’ initial 53-man roster

Here are four of the most pressing questions general manager Marty Hurney will need to address.

The Carolina Panthers unveiled their initial 53-man roster for the 2020 NFL season yesterday. While there will almost certainly be more changes coming, we have several questions about this current group they’re carrying into the season.

Here are four of the most pressing questions general manager Marty Hurney will need to address.

How long will they carry three QBs?

In the past, the Panthers have only carried two quarterbacks on the roster. This year, they’re changing things up by keeping three – starter Teddy Bridgewater and backups P.J. Walker and Will Grier. Coach Matt Rhule told the media recently that the QB2 competition could continue week to week. At some point, the team may want that extra roster spot to fill another need. The question for Rhule and Hurney is how long they’re prepared to let that battle go on with more pressing needs.
