Set for backup role in Week 10 Cannon is expected to serve as the backup to Mike Davis with Christian McCaffrey (shoulder) and Reggie Bonnafon (ankle) both out Sunday against the Buccaneers, Joe Person of The At...

Impact Person mentions that Alex Armah is also an option at running back, and the team could opt to promote Rodney Smith from the practice squad. Davis has previously proven himself capable of taking on a workhorse role with McCaffrey injured, so there isn't expected to be much work left over for Cannon, who has garnered more than two touches in a game only once this season.

Garners five touches Cannon rushed three times for 12 yards and caught both his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Bears.

Impact Cannon served as Mike Davis' backup at tailback and did decently with his handful of touches. In fact, with a long reception of 19 yards, Cannon actually outgained Davis through the air. As long as Christian McCaffrey and Reggie Bonnafon remain sidelined with ankle injuries, expect Cannon to serve behind Davis and hold very mild fantasy value.

Set for backup role Coach Matt Rhule said Friday that Cannon will back up Mike Davis during Sunday's game against the Falcons, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Impact Cannon looks set to serve as Carolina's No. 2 running back versus the Falcons, with Reggie Bonnafon (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list. Fullback Alex Armah will also play a depth role in the backfield, but Cannon would likely be the primary beneficiary of increased snaps is Davis were to get nicked up.

Earns roster spot Cannon secured a spot on the team's 53-man roster Saturday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Impact Cannon secured the third and final spot on the running back depth chart in the wake of the team cutting Reggie Bonnafon. Now on the roster, Pearson points out that Cannon will likely be on every special team for the 2020 season. Don't expect Cannnon to produce any meaningful fantasy numbers for the upcoming campaign.

Plucked off waivers by Panthers The Panthers claimed Cannon off waivers Tuesday, Myles Simmons of the team's official site reports.

Impact Selected by the Jets in the sixth round of the 2018 draft, Cannon was active for all 16 games as a rookie, averaging 3.0 YPC on 38 rushes, hauling in 17 of 25 targets for 144 yards and scoring one TD. However, he was contained to one offensive snap and four appearances last season before he was placed on injured reserve Nov. 1 due to foot and ankle injuries. Cannon likely will vie with Mike Davis and Jordan Scarlett for one or two spots at the bottom of the Panthers' running back depth chart.

Let go by New York The Jets waived Cannon on Monday, Eric Allen and Randy Lange of the team's official site report.

Impact Cannon was caught up in a numbers game in the backfield, as he likely would have found himself on the outside looking in for a spot on the regular-season roster after the Jets signed veteran Frank Gore in the offseason and spent a fourth-round pick on La'Mical Perine in the draft. After compiling 257 total yards and a touchdown in 2018 as a change-of-pace option, Cannon's role diminished considerably in 2019. He appeared in four games and played 58 total snaps, with only one coming on offense.
