Overview

• Hunter Renfrow had been released during roster cuts before a sudden need at wide receiver reopened the door.
• Carolina moved after trading Adam Thielen and placing Jalen Coker on injured reserve, creating space on the 53-man roster.
• Calls from GM Dan Morgan, head coach Dave Canales, and Renfrow’s agent initially went unanswered because his daughter declined them while watching Bluey, leaving about ten missed calls.
• Renfrow returned the calls in time and rejoined the team, with plans for him to work primarily from the slot as a veteran target for Bryce Young.
• He missed the 2024 season due to illness and has indicated he wants to play only for the Panthers despite other interest.
