CHARLOTTE – The Panthers will have 35 tryout players joining their draft picks, undrafted signings and a handful of returning players at rookie minicamp, which begins Friday at Bank of America Stadium. Defensive tackle Vernon Butler (first round, 30th overall), cornerback James Bradberry (second round, 62nd overall), cornerback Darly Worley (third round, 77th overall), cornerback Zack Sanchez (fifth round, 141st overall) and tight end Beau Sandland (seventh round, 252nd overall) will make their debuts in Panthers gear.

Four players who spent time on Carolina's practice squad in 2015 – defensive tackle Chas Alecxih, wide receiver Damiere Byrd, defensive end Rakim Cox and guard Reese Dismukes – will also participate, as will four others signed to future contracts in January (defensive tackle Eric Crume, cornerback Travell Dixon, wide receiver Cobi Hamilton and guard Tyler Larsen).
