Panthers announce 4 roster moves on Tuesday

The Carolina Panthers added a couple of linebackers to the locker room on Tuesday.

As announced this afternoon, the team has signed outside ‘backer Jacoby Windmon off the Pittsburgh Steelers’ practice squad. The rookie defender will now join the Panthers as a member of their active roster.

Windmon, a Marrero, La. native, split his collegiate career between the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (2019 to 2021) and Michigan State University (2022 to 2023). He amassed 223 combined tackles and 18.5 sacks in 41 games over that time, which was highlighted by a Second-team All-Mountain West selection in 2021.

Pittsburgh signed Windmon as an undrafted free agent this past spring. The 6-foot-2, 250-pounder played in all three preseason contests for the Steelers.

To make room for Windmon, the Panthers waived fellow outside linebacker Tarron Jackson. Jackson appeared in three games for Carolina this season.

The Panthers also signed veteran linebacker Shaq Quarterman to their practice squad. Quarterman, a fourth-round pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars from 2020, has been used primarily as a special teams player over his 66 career games.

In addition, wide receiver Deon Cain was released from the team’s practice squad.
