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.

Detroit Lions host five players for a QB3 tryout, led by C.J. Beathard and Nathan Peterman behind Jared Goff and Kyle Allen, with Malik Cunningham, Jerjuan Newton and Kendric Pryor adding depth at receiver. The goal is a proven, steady presence who can run the offense if needed, not a developmental project. The move signals a clear plan to bolster quarterback depth and receive options as camp winds down.
