**Panthers Revamp Roster Ahead of Dolphins Clash, Rookie Receiver Set to Debut**

**CHARLOTTE, NC** – The Carolina Panthers are making significant adjustments to their roster as they prepare to face the Miami Dolphins in Week 5. Following a flurry of transactions, the team has released outside linebacker DJ Johnson and wide receiver Dalevon Campbell, opening up two roster spots.

The release of Johnson, who started in Week 4 due to injuries, elevates rookies Nic Scourton and Princely Umanmielen in the pass-rushing depth chart. On the offensive side, rookie receiver Jimmy Horn Jr. is poised to make his NFL debut. Teammates and coaches are excited to see Horn’s speed and agility add a new dimension to the offense. “We are excited to see how he changes the offense,” said coach Canales.

The team is also anticipating the return of Xavier Legette from a hamstring injury, although he has had limited opportunities to shine before the setback.

Injury concerns continue to plague the Panthers, particularly at the running back position. The starting running back has missed consecutive practices with a calf issue, raising questions about his availability for Sunday’s game.

In other roster moves, the Panthers have placed wide receiver David Moore and guard Chandler Zavala on injured reserve, while signing several players to the active roster and practice squad.

Around the NFC South, the Atlanta Falcons rebounded with a win over Washington, while the Tampa Bay Buccaneers suffered their first loss, and the New Orleans Saints fell to the Buffalo Bills.

The Panthers will look to overcome their roster challenges and secure a victory against the high-powered Miami Dolphins offense this Sunday.
