Jordan Matthews is back, again.
On Wednesday, the Carolina Panthers announced they brought back the veteran tight end to their practice squad. The 32-year-old was released on Tuesday, when the team signed fellow tight end Feleipe Franks to the active roster.
Matthews, who has been with the organization since last season, had a standout summer. He was the second-leading receiver for the Panthers during the preseason, as he reeled in seven catches for 68 yards and a touchdown.
Joining Matthews on the practice squad will be safety Russ Yeast, who was also added this morning. The 25-year-old defender has spent the last three seasons as a member of the Los Angeles Rams.
A First-team All-Big 12 selection at Kansas State University in 2021, Yeast was a seventh-round selection of Los Angeles during the 2022 draft. He’s gone on to appear in 33 games for the Rams since, totaling 81 combined tackles and five passes defensed with 10 starts.
