The Carolina Panthers front office is busy throughout the season with transactions, roster moves, and injury updates. Here’s what’s happening at Mint Street this week.
Injury Report
The Panthers injury report looks pretty
clean with the exception of the most important position in football. Quarterback Bryce Young has not practiced all week due to an ankle injury and was listed as doubtful in today’s report. That’s not ideal for a suddenly resurgent 4-3 Panthers squad that’s preparing to host a very good Buffalo Bills team on Sunday. Here’s to hoping Bryce Young can heal up rather quickly.
Guard Damien Lewis and outside linebacker Princely Umanmielen were both limited in practices earlier this week but were full participants Thursday and Friday.
Transactions
Signed QB Mike White to the practice squad
White is a little bit of insurance on the quarterback front with Bryce Young dinged up. The NFL veteran is one of the poor unfortunate souls among quarterbacks who started their careers with the dysfunctional New York Jets, with White playing his first reps with the team in 2021. He has also appeared in games for the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills. In his career he has appeared in 15 games with 2,247 passing yards, nine touchdowns, and 13 interceptions.
Signed OLB Jeremiah Moon to the practice squad
The 6-foot-5, 247-pound outside linebacker was a 2022 undrafted free agent from Florida and landed on the Baltimore Ravens practice squad that year. In 2023 Moon had 12 tackles in eight games with two forced fumbles. He spent last season with the Pittsburgh Steelers and registered nine tackles in 13 games, playing 111 defensive snaps and 222 special teams snaps.
Released CB Keion Crossen and OT Michael Tarquin from the practice squad
Veteran cornerback Keion Crossen appeared in one game for the Panthers this year without recording any stats while Michael Tarquin has yet to appear in an NFL game.
