Irvin, Tyler among Panthers' final cuts
Football Betting Lines
09/04/2010 - Charlotte, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Defensive linemen Corvey Irvin and Tank Tyler were among the notables released by the Carolina Panthers on Saturday, as the team reduced its roster to the 53-player maximum
Irvin, a third-round draft choice out of Georgia in 2009, never got into a meaningful game during his rookie season due to a torn MCL in his right knee. Irvin failed to impress enough to make the roster in 2010, though he does have practice squad eligibility remaining.
Tyler was acquired by the Panthers in a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs midway through last season, appearing in six games with the team. Tyler was Kansas City's 2007 third-round draft choice out of North Carolina State.
Also released on Saturday were quarterback Hunter Cantwell, guard Andrew Crummey, linebacker Quinton Culberson, wide receiver Trent Guy, guard Ray Hisatake, linebacker Mortty Ivy, fullback Rashawn Jackson, defensive lineman Eric Moore, wide receiver Kenneth Moore, tackle Rob Petitti, tight end Jamie Petrowski, running back Dantrell Savage, defensive back R.J. Stanford, running back Josh Vaughan, linebacker Sean Ware, defensive back C.J. Wilson and cornerback Brian Witherspoon.
Notables among that group include Cantwell, who was battling rookie Tony Pike for third-string quarterback duties; Culberson, who appeared in five games as a Panthers last season; and Witherspoon, the former Jaguar and Lion who was attempting to make the team as a return man.
In additional moves, Carolina placed guards C.J. Davis (concussion), Duke Robinson (knee) and safety Aaron Francisco (hamstring) on season-ending injured reserve.
The Panthers open the regular season next Sunday, when they travel to meet the New York Giants.

MySportsbook.com and Kentucky Derby Offer Bonuses
The 2008 Kentucky Derby has announced a $1-million bonus for this weekend’s 134th ‘Run for the Roses’ and MySportsbook.com is doing the same.
Well, not quite $1 million, but MySportsbook.com is offering a 75% rebate for Kentucky Derby lines. Check out the exclusive horse racing bonus for all the details.
According to MySportsbook.com, the favorites for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky are: Curlin (+250); Street Sense (+500); Scat Daddy (+700); Circular Quay (+750); and Nobiz Like Shobiz (+800).
Derby organizers announced this week that there will be a $1-million bonus at the 2007 Kentucky Derby odds if the first-place horse wins by more than 6 1/2 lengths – the margin of Barbaro's victory last year. The bonus would be divided Saturday among the winning trainer, jockey, owner and a charity, with each receiving 25 percent. The designated charity is the Barbaro Memorial Fund.
''It's certainly creative, it's certainly fun and it has something for the horsemen, which we always want to embrace,'' Churchill Downs president and chief executive Robert Evans said at a news conference. ''What's really cool is it will force us to remember Barbaro.''
Meanwhile, the Derby favorite – Curlin – is going against the odds this year. It's been 125 years since Apollo won after skipping his 2-year-old season, and not since Regret in 1915 has such a lightly seasoned horse worn the blanket of red roses.
Arkansas Derby winner Curlin – unbeaten in three career races – tries to overcome both those obstacles in Saturday's 133rd Derby.
''We're not running against history,'' trainer Steve Asmussen said Monday. ''We're running against who they load up.''
Six other horses have run in the Derby without benefit of 2-year-old races and with three or fewer starts. The best any of them managed was a sixth-place finish by Showing Up last year.
Asmussen dismissed suggestions that Curlin's lack of racing experience could keep him from the winner's circle.
”He exudes confidence and he's got a great presence about him,'' the trainer said. ''I feel great about the position we're in. He's not worried about anything, why should you be?''
The Kentucky Derby is at 4:04 p.m., ET Saturday.
