Panthers sign former Baylor CB, former Falcons DE

The Carolina Panthers have announced two signings at the outset of today’s training camp practice.

Three days ago, the team brought in former Baylor cornerback Jameson Houston and former Falcons defensive end Austin Larkin for a tryout. Today they added both of them to the 80-man roster, per the team website.

In a pair of corresponding moves, the Panthers waived veteran defensive end DaVonte Lambert and cornerback Cole Luke.

Carolina doesn’t have much depth to go around at cornerback. That combined with Houston’s experience with coach Matt Rhule might give him a legitimate shot to make the roster or a practice squad spot.

Larkin faces a more difficult path as the Panthers are still relatively loaded with young edge talent.
