The Carolina Panthers were a little busy before taking the practice field on Wednesday.

Along with officially declaring the returns of running back Jonathon Brooks, defensive lineman Jaden Cruemdy and safety Sam Franklin Jr., the team also announced that they've signed veteran wideout Dan Chisena to their practice squad.

A Paoli, Penn. native, Chisena played his college ball at nearby Penn State University from 2018 to 2019. He appeared in 14 games for the Nittany Lions, posting three catches for 66 yards.

The 6-foot-3, 203-pounder would then crack into the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Minnesota Vikings in 2020. He played almost strictly as a special teamer from 2020 to 2022, with just 11 of his 507 snaps for the Vikings coming on offense.

Chisena has also picked up stops with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Arizona Cardinals and Baltimore Ravens. He was most recently with the Cardinals, who released him this past Friday to end his second stint in Arizona.
