Matthews caught all three of his targets for 48 yards during Thursday's 17-3 preseason loss to the Patriots.
The Panthers are desperate for a tight end that can be a vertical threat, and they may have found a hidden gem in the former Eagles wideout. Matthews (19 snaps) played behind rookie Ja'Tavion Sanders (24 snaps) during Thursday's contest, but Matthews outperformed him, as Sanders failed to even see a target. With Carolina's tight-end corps being one of the weakest units in football over the last few seasons, Matthews could find his way onto the team's 53-man roster if he continues to impress.
