Panthers sign 2 players back to their practice squad on Wednesday
There was actually a bit of non-quarterback news coming out of 800 South Mint Street on a rather eventual Wednesday afternoon.
The Carolina Panthers have announced that they have signed defensive lineman T.J. Smith and inside linebacker Chandler Wooten to their practice squad. Both players were waived from the active roster on Tuesday.
Wooten initially joined the Panthers in 2022, when the team scooped him off the Arizona Cardinals' practice squad shortly after the trade of running back Christian McCaffrey. He has since played in 20 games for Carolina, mostly as a special teamer.
Week 7 saw Wooten record 51 defensive snaps, the most in his three seasons as a Panther. He amassed six combined tackles in the 40-7 loss to the Washington Commanders.
Smith first signed with Carolina this past spring. The 6-foot-3, 300-pounder would prove to be one of the team's summer standouts, as he tallied 2.0 sacks over three preseason contests.
He has appeared in three games during the regular season.
