Akayleb Evans, a second-round draft pick from the Minnesota Vikings, has yet to make a significant impact since joining the Panthers. With limited opportunities to showcase his skills, the team is considering giving him playing time in the final game of the season to evaluate his potential for future roster decisions. This evaluation comes at a time when the Panthers are assessing their cornerback depth, particularly with Mike Jackson set to become a free agent and only rookie Chau Smith-Wade under contract beyond this season.
