The Red Wave and fans of Arron Mosby will have to wait for his NFL debut. 

The former Fresno State linebacker was called up to the Carolina Panthers’ 53-man roster last week, but when the team set its roster ahead of Sunday’s matchup with the New Orleans Saints, Mosby was among the inactive players. 

On Monday afternoon, the Panthers cut Mosby from the active roster, placing him back on the practice squad. This came less than a week after they announced his name on the active roster. 

Mosby signed with the Panthers as an undrafted free agent back in May. He was called up from the team’s practice squad for his skills on special teams while also adding depth to the linebacker position for Carolina. 

During the preseason, Mosby totaled nine tackles with one pass deflection.

The Sanger native spent five seasons (2017-2021) at Fresno State, including a standout season as a senior in 2021. In that year, Mosby earned All Mountain West Conference (MWC) honorable mention accolades after tying the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS)-lead with six forced fumbles. He also led the Bulldogs with 15.5 tackles for loss in addition to having six sacks. In 2019, Mosby registered a career high 78 tackles. 

Mosby wore the Panther’s jersey for three games this season, his only action coming in 16-snaps on special teams in Week 2 against the New York Giants. 

With Mosby off the roster, the Panthers now have an open spot to fill.
