Panthers cut a depth running back with minimal impact on either side. Headlines suggest Johnson cleared waivers and reverted to injured reserve status. The lack of competing claims indicates limited league-wide interest in the player. Fans showed minimal reaction, reflecting Johnson's role as a fringe roster contributor. Carolina will rely on established backs to carry the offensive load forward.
