Panthers cut a late-round prospect with minimal NFL traction, a routine roster move. Headlines suggest this was part of broader organizational changes, not a notable decision. Johnson Jr. couldn't secure a role in Carolina's backfield despite opportunity. Fans view this as expected given the crowded RB room and Johnson's limited production. Panthers will continue evaluating depth options through free agency and the draft.
