Versatile defensive back Myles Hartsfield was one of three undrafted rookies to make the squad.

CHARLOTTE — The Panthers have turned over more than half the roster from this time in 2019, as only 23 players remain from last year’s initial 53. Carolina’s average age is 25.8, down from last year’s initial roster at 26.1.
Here’s a first look at how the position groups break down after Saturday’s cut to 53 players.
Quarterbacks (3): Teddy Bridgewater, Will Grier, P.J. Walker
Not surprisingly, the Panthers kept all three quarterbacks. Head coach Matt Rhule did not announce a winner in the backup competition between Grier and Walker. Both performed well at times during training camp. On Monday, Rhule said that the backup QB could change week-to-week if both Grier and Walker were on the active roster.
Running backs (3): Christian McCaffrey, Mike Davis, Trenton Cannon
Mike Davis earned his spot as the Panthers’ No. 2 behind McCaffrey with a strong camp. Rhule consistently praised Davis’ performance, and offensive coordinator Joe Brady said he has “no issues” giving Davis the ball. The Panthers claimed Cannon off waivers early in camp, and he beat out Reggie Bonnafon for the third running back role. Cannon will likely play a big role on special teams.
Fullback (1): Alex Armah
A sixth-round pick in 2017, Armah remains the Panthers’ lone fullback. He had a rushing touchdown in limited offensive snaps last year. He’s in line to receive significant reps on special teams.
Wide receivers (7): DJ Moore, Curtis Samuel, Robby Anderson, Pharoh Cooper, Seth Roberts, Brandon Zylstra, Keith Kirkwood
