AMARE BARNO NEWS

Let go by Carolina The Panthers waived Barno (knee) on Friday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Impact The move opens a spot on the Panthers' 90-man roster for undrafted rookie J.J. Weaver. Barno was limited to five regular-season games in 2024 due to a shoulder injury and finished with seven tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks. He underwent a clean-up procedure on his knee during the offseason, but it's unclear whether he would be healthy enough to practice were he to catch on with another team during training camp.
