Panthers release S LaDarius Wiley

The Panthers parted ways with S LaDarius Wiley, making him their sixth cut of the past 24 hours.

Even after sizing down the roster to Tuesday’s 80-man limit, the Carolina Panthers weren’t done chopping it up.

Per his agency, safety LaDarius Wiley has been released by the team. Wiley signed with the Panthers on Aug. 8 alongside defensive end Kendall Donnerson, who was also cut earlier today.

The undrafted free agent out of Vanderbilt University broke into the NFL on a deal with the Tennessee Titans back in 2019. After not seeing any regular season action over his two years there, the 6-foot-1, 210-pound defensive back joined the Seattle Seahawks for a brief stay this offseason before being released in June.

Wiley and Donnerson account for two of the six players Carolina has now departed with over the past day. They’ve also moved out wide receiver Krishawn Hogan, guard Marquel Harrell and defensive tackles Walter Palmore and Caraun Reid.

The Carolina Panthers have made a few roster moves ahead of today’s training camp practice.

The Carolina Panthers have made a few roster moves ahead of today’s training camp practice. The team announced that they have signed former Packers defensive end Kendall Donnerson, as well as defensive back LaDarius Wiley.

Donnerson was a seventh-round pick by the Packers in the 2018 NFL draft. Since then he has been bouncing around – first on and off Green Bay’s roster, then he spent time with the Raiders, Bengals, Bills and Saints. Donnerson also was with Carolina earlier this year, but he was released 10 days after he was signed. He has not played in a live game as of yet.

As for Wiley, he played his college ball at Vanderbilt, where he forced seven fumbles. He has played for the Titans and Seahawks.

To make room for the new guys, the Panthers waived defensive end Austin Larkin – who suffered a groin injury last week – plus undrafted offensive lineman David Moore.
