Overview

• Defensive coordinator Teryl Austin said Bishop must “fight and work to make some splash” this week to put himself back in the roster picture.
• After starting six games and recording four interceptions as a rookie, Bishop has logged seven tackles and two passes defended through two 2025 preseason outings.
• This offseason’s additions of Jalen Ramsey and Brandin Echols have pushed Bishop down the depth chart amid an already crowded cornerback room.
• Coaches are treating Thursday’s matchup against the Panthers as Bishop’s final audition before the team’s roster cutdown.
• Austin lauded Cory Trice Jr. as “an NFL corner” but flagged his injury history and availability as a separate risk for making the roster.
