The Panthers will sign Jones off Jacksonville's practice squad Tuesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Jones, who was waived by Chicago in late October, now gets a spot on Carolina's 53-man roster. With Jonathon Brooks (knee) lost for the season and Raheem Blackshear (chest) at risk of missing Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Jones could be needed to fill a depth role at running back for Carolina, despite having taken most of his snaps on offense as a receiver through his first three seasons in the league. The 2022 third-round pick will also be in the mix to step in as the Panthers' kickoff and punt returner if Blackshear is sidelined.
