Panthers cut a backup running back in a routine roster adjustment. Multiple headlines confirm the waiver, suggesting modest media interest in the move. Johnson Jr. was a UCLA prospect but failed to establish meaningful NFL production. Fans likely view this as expected depth chart management rather than notable news. Carolina will pursue other depth options to solidify their running back rotation.
