Wide receiver Jonathan Mingo wasn’t the only player the Carolina Panthers parted ways with on Tuesday.
As first noted by team reporter Kassidy Hill, the Panthers have waived linebacker Jacoby Windmon from the active roster and released linebacker Jackson Mitchell from the practice squad.
Windmon joined the Panthers back on Oct. 15, when he was signed off the Pittsburgh Steelers’ practice squad. The 23-year-old rookie appeared in Carolina’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.
Between the departures of Windmon and Mingo, who was traded to the Dallas Cowboys this morning, the Panthers now have two open spots on their active roster. Those vacancies could be filled by rookie running Jonathon Brooks and rookie defensive lineman Jaden Crumedy, who may be activated by 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
