The Panthers signed Tyus to their practice squad Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Tyus signed a reserve/future contract with Carolina but was unable to earn a roster spot. With only three running backs on the active roster and both Chuba Hubbard (hamstring) and Jonathon Brooks (general soreness) dealing with injuries, Tyus could be elevated for the team's Week 1 matchup against the Bears.
