Although they haven't been active on the trade market ahead of today's deadline, the Carolina Panthers did make a few moves this afternoon.
In addition to releasing veteran wideout David Moore, the team signed inside linebacker Claudin Cherelus back to their practice squad. The 27-year-old defender has spent most of the last four seasons with Carolina.
His previous stint for the Panthers came to an end on Sept. 30, when he was waived with an injury settlement. Prior to being let go, Cherelus competed for a starting spot on defense—a battle he and 2024 third-round pick Trevin Wallace would both fall short in.
Cherelus has appeared in 33 games with six starts since the 2023 campaign. He's amassed 60 combined tackles and a pass defensed.
To make room
for Cherelus, the Panthers place receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette on the practice squad injured list.
