Saunders was competing against a crowded wide receiver room in Carolina for the chance to make it on its final 53-man roster. He ultimately came up short, which means he will need to look for a new opportunity elsewhere unless the team offers him a spot on its practice squad. The 26-year-old has been with the Panthers' organization since signing with the team as an undrafted free agent in 2021.

Carolina signed Saunders to a reserve/future contract Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Saunders returned to the field just under three weeks after being sidelined with a quadriceps strain picked up in early August.

EDGE Analysis
