CHARLOTTE — The Panthers released their first unofficial depth chart of the regular season on Tuesday, heading into Sunday's opener against Jacksonville.
There are no real surprises on the chart, other than the recent shakeup at wide receiver that saw Adam Thielen traded the day after cuts to 53, followed by the injury that landed Jalen Coker on IR and Hunter Renfrow re-signed after he was released last Tuesday.
Now, Renfrow is listed as a starter at wide receiver, alongside Tetairoa McMillan and Xavier Legette.
Ja'Tavion Sanders is still listed as the starting tight end, with Tommy Tremble behind him after returning from his offseason back surgery.
On defense, the starting line is listed as Tershawn Wharton, A'Shawn Robinson, and Derrick Brown, with Bobby Brown III listed behind Wharton. (The reality is those four will largely mix and match based on down and distance because of their complementary strengths.)
Nick Scott is listed as the other starting safety next to Tre'von Moehrig, backed up by rookie Lathan Ransom and second-year man Demani Richardson. (Again, these guys will play in varying deployments.)
The one big change is on the special teams depth chart.
Ryan Fitzgerald, of course, is the kicker listed since he won the initial training camp competition for the job.
Fellow rookie Trevor Etienne is listed as the first kick returner and punt returner, with Rico Dowdle, David Moore, and Jimmy Horn Jr. listed next on kickoffs, and Moore and Horn behind him on punts.
