Panthers release third unofficial depth chart ahead of Thursday's preseason finale
With their preseason finale coming up on Thursday, the Carolina Panthers have penciled in one last depth chart for the summer. And just like their last release, this one is pretty much chalk. Here's the pecking order for the week: Quarterback Running back Wide receiver Tight end Left tackle Left guard Center Right guard Right tackle Defensive end Defensive tackle Outside linebacker Inside linebacker Cornerback Safety Kick returner Punt returner Kicker Punter Long snapper The lone change from their second chart is the addition of quarterback and 2025 UFL MVP Bryce Perkins, who is expected to play against the Pittsburgh Steelers with starter Bryce Young and backup Andy Dalton lined up for some rest. To make room for Perkins, the Panthers placed tight end Tyler Mabry on injured reserve. Thursday night will give Carolina a chance to evaluate their group ahead of the big summer cutdown. Teams will have until 4:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Aug. 29 to trim their rosters down to 53 players. Follow @ThePanthersWire on Twitter/X for more Panthers content.

Panthers Defenseman Invited To Team USA's Olympic Orientation Camp
Florida Panthers defenseman Seth Jones has been invited to Team USA's Olympic orientation camp. The camp, scheduled for Aug. 26 and 27, is mainly for administrative and team-building purposes and does not feature any formal on-ice activity or public component. Earlier in August, Team Canada unveiled their orientation camp roster, which was headlined by five Panthers players: Sam Bennett, Aaron Ekblad, Brad Marchand, Sam Reinhart and Carter Verhaeghe. Jones is one of the newest Panthers, but his impressive track record goes beyond his time in Florida. Jones was the fourth overall pick in the 2013 NHL Draft, and has represented Team USA at the U-17s, U-18s, World Junior Championship and the World Championship. Jones won gold at the U-18s twice, the World Juniors once, while bringing home a silver medal at the U-17s and bronze at the World Championship. Jones is a minute muncher with good offensive instincts. He's a strong skater for a defenseman with a 6-foot-4 frame, but earning a spot on the American roster will be a challenge. The 30-year-old was left off the 4 Nations Face-Off roster and is one of the 16 defensemen invited to the orientation camp. The Americans don't lack talented offensive defenders, but require shutdown blueliners, something Jones could develop into this season.
