Bersin led the Panthers with four receptions (on four targets) for 54 yards in Sunday's win over the Buccaneers.
Bersin made the most of an opportunity to impress with fellow wideouts Jerricho Cotchery (ankle) and Kevin Norwood inactive Sunday. In fact, with 54 receiving yards, including a long gain of 30 yards, Bersin set a new career-high for himself. While that evidences Bersin's underwhelming upside, he'll surely be pleased with his team-leading performance Sunday.

Bersin was added to the Panthers' active roster and will be active for Sunday's game, the Charlotte Observer's Jonathan Jones reports.
While the Panthers have one of the worst collection of wide receivers in the league, Bersin will still be at the bottom of the depth chart, so his targets will be minimal.
Sat Sep 5 201510:24Bersin released by Panthers
Bersin has been released by the Panthers, Joe Person of the Charlotte Observer reports.
Bersin's roster odds took a hit when the Panthers traded for Kevin Norwood earlier in the week. With Bersin and Mike Brown both being released, Norwood and Damiere Byrd are left as the final two wide receivers on the depth chart, though it's possible Byrd will still be released and placed on the practice squad.

Bersin has been tendered a one-year contract that will see him remain with the Panthers next season.
Bersin made the Panthers' roster following a strong training camp showing last year and went on to catch 13 passes for 151 yards and one touchdown. The local product also returned 14 punts. However, with the Panthers expected to sign a similar player, Ted Ginn, come Tuesday, Bersin could face added competition for both roles heading into next season.

Bersin ended this season with 13 catches (on 20 targets) for 151 yards and one touchdown through 15 games played.
Bersin claimed a roster spot following the preseason and made a limited impact as one of the Panthers' reserve wideouts. The undrafted 24-year-old also assumed punt and kickoff return duties throughout the season. However, given his restricted contributions, Bersin may need another strong training camp to make the Panthers' team again next season.

Bersin caught three passes (on five targets) for 21 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's blowout loss to the Packers.
Bersin scored his first career touchdown Sunday on a one-yard reception late in the fourth quarter. However, with teammate Philly Brown (concussion) being forced to exit Sunday's contest, Bersin assumed a larger role in the Panthers' offense and may have done enough to state his case for more regular involvement moving forward.

Bersin has totaled five catches (on eight targets) for 90 yards and one touchdown during the Panthers' three preseason games thus far.
Bersin has emerged as Carolina's No. 4 wideout during camp and has impressed during his past two exhibition outings in particular. The local product showed fine concentration on a touchdown catch last weekend and ranked second in the Panthers' revamped receiving corp with 42 yards Friday versus the Patriots. At 6-3, 210 pounds, Bersin possesses great size and can also work in the slot. With his roster spot nearly sewed up, expect Bersin to feature with the Panthers' first-team offense in some capacity during Thursday's preseason finale.
