Carolina released its Week 3 depth chart ahead of Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns, and if you’re comparing it to last week’s version, you can stop scrolling — there’s nothing new to find.
Did the depth chart change?
No. The Panthers’ Week 3 depth chart is unchanged from Week 2, position by position, according to the team’s own release.
Why it might look like something changed
A few roster moves happened around the same time, which can make it seem like the depth chart shifted even though it didn’t:
- Safety Isaiah Simmons and linebacker Jeremiah Moon were elevated to the active roster for a second straight week.
- Ihmir Smith-Marsette, a former Panther who also spent time on the Giants’ special teams, was added to the practice squad.
Those are practice-squad and active-roster transactions, not changes to the depth chart itself.
One thing worth flagging
John Metchie III is still listed as the primary punt and kickoff returner, even after coach Dave Canales said it would be tough to pull Jalen Coker out of punt-return duty following his Week 2 performance. The chart didn’t move on that spot this week — but it’s a role to keep an eye on.
Worth checking again
The Panthers noted the chart itself could still shift later in the week if there are more signings or practice-squad moves, so it’s worth a quick check closer to kickoff if you’re tracking a specific player.
