Jordan Matthews is back . . . again.
As announced on Friday morning, the Carolina Panthers have signed the 10th-year tight end to their practice squad. This marks his third stint as a member of the group this season.
Matthews was released from the active roster this past Tuesday. His spot would go to wide receiver Adam Thielen, who was officially activated after missing the last seven games due to a hamstring injury.
The Panthers have used Matthews in four of their 10 outings in 2024. He’s played 26 snaps on offense, where he has tallied one target, and 61 snaps on special teams.
Although he has yet to record a single catch for Carolina over the last two seasons, Matthews was the team’s second-leading receiver from this past preseason. He reeled in seven balls for 68 yards and a touchdown during the summer.
He now fills the spot on the practice squad left by the release of wide receiver Cam Johnson, who was also moved on Tuesday.
