Panthers Waive Former 2021 Draft Pick

Tuesday evening, the Carolina Panthers announced that they have waived defensive lineman Daviyon Nixon. 

Nixon, a fifth-round draft choice of Carolina in 2021, appeared in seven games this season and recorded just six tackles. He was a healthy scratch for this past week's game in Seattle as the veteran Henry Anderson made his return to the field after recovering from a "minor stroke" that he suffered in October.

The Panthers' active roster currently stands at 52 players, meaning they have an open spot available.
