The Carolina Panthers are assessing their cornerback depth after the dismissal of defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero. The move comes as the team reviews its defensive backfield following a 25-14 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on October 18, 2026.
In that game, Panthers cornerback Will Lee III, wearing number 24, was matched up against Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith, who caught a touchdown pass in the fourth quarter. The performance of the cornerback unit will be a key focus as the Panthers adjust their defensive scheme.
