The Carolina Panthers were a little busy before hitting the practice field on Thursday.
After announcing the four-year extension for running back Chuba Hubbard this morning, the team officially signed linebacker Jacoby Windmon to their practice squad. Windmon, who spent the prior three weeks as a member of the active roster, was waived on Tuesday.
Carolina signed the 23-year-old rookie defender off the Pittsburgh Steelers’ practice squad back on Oct. 15. Windmon played in the team’s last three games, with all 43 of his snaps coming on special teams.
He recorded one tackle in the Week 7 loss to the Washington Commanders and one tackle in this past Sunday’s win over the New Orleans Saints.
To make room for the return of Windmon, the Panthers released fellow linebacker Chandler Wooten. The departure marks the end of Wooten’s second stint on Carolina’s practice squad in 2024.
Wooten appeared in 20 games for the Panthers dating back to the 2022 campaign.
