Panthers release initial depth chart for Week 9 matchup vs. Broncos

The

Carolina Panthers made a pretty big move this past week.

On Friday, the team announced the dismissal of defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero—who had served in the role since 2023. Evero has been joined in his leaving by defensive passing game coordinator Jonathan Cooley as well as assistant linebackers coach Mayur Chaudhari, whose departure was made known earlier this afternoon.
