Damarri Mathis’ season-ending ACL ends his Panthers debut before it starts; Panthers claimed him after Denver cut him, keeping a Bronco-alumnus in Carolina’s rotation in theory. That move tightens Carolina’s secondary depth and shuffles early-season WR/CB expectations as Evero’s system continues to influence fantasy angles.

Ex-Broncos in flux: Jeff Driskel to Raiders practice squad; Ronnie Perkins to Falcons; Garrett Nelson to Saints; Jerjuan Newton worked out for Lions; Chase Edmonds to Colts; Juwann Winfree cleared from Texans IR. These waiver-loop moves shape late-season depth options and dynasty watch lists more than immediate fantasy impact.
