The Carolina Panthers filled the vacancy on their practice squad this morning.
As announced on Wednesday, the team has signed wide receiver Dax Milne. The 6-foot-1, 190-pounder spent a pair of seasons (2021 and 2022) with the Washington Commanders.
A South Jordan, Utah native, Milne played his college ball at nearby Brigham Young University from 2018 to 2020. His final year as a Cougar would prove to be his best—as he led the Big 12 Conference in both receptions (70) and receiving yards (1,188) while scoring eight touchdowns.
Washington would then select Milne in the seventh round of the 2021 NFL draft. He’d serve primarily as a special teams weapon, amassing a league-high 40 punt returns at an average of 7.8 yards per attempt in 2022.
Milne is now the second addition to Carolina’s practice squad in as many days. He joins tight end Stephen Sullivan, who officially returned to the team on Tuesday in place of inside linebacker Shaquille Quarterman.
