The Panthers waived Sutton on Sunday, Myles Simmons of the team's official site reports.
Sutton signed with the Panthers as an undrafted free agent out of Fresno State in April, but he didn't last long in training camp. The 23-year-old caught just nine passes for 154 yards over his final two collegiate seasons, so he'll likely need to prove his run-blocking abilities to make an NFL roster. However, his frame (6-foot-6, 226 pounds) could inhibit his chances at tight end.
