The Carolina Panthers opened up another spot on their active roster ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the New York Giants.
As announced this morning, the team has waived defensive lineman Nick Thurman. The 29-year-old defender played in all 17 of the team’s games in 2023 and all nine of their games this season.
Thurman joined the Panthers in July of 2023. He’d go on to amass 31 total tackles (two for a loss) and a quarterback hit in his first campaign for Carolina.
2024 has seen the 6-foot-4, 305-pounder record four starts over his nine outings.
With Thurman’s departure, the Panthers now have four vacancies on their active roster.
Carolina also made a pair of additions to their practice squad, as they signed wide receiver Cam Johnson and safety Alex Cook.
Johnson, an undrafted rookie out of Northwestern University, spent the offseason with the Dallas Cowboys before being waived in August.
Cook appeared in 10 games for the Panthers in 2023 and was already a member of this year’s practice squad prior to his release on Oct. 8.
