The Panthers re-signed Matthews to the practice squad Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports. Matthews appeared in Carolina's first two regular-season games, but he was replaced by fellow tight end Feleipe Franks on the 53-man roster Tuesday. Now, the veteran will continue playing a deep reserve role for the Panthers, and he'll be a candidate to be elevated for games should the team suffer any positional injuries.

The Panthers released Matthews on Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports. Matthews played in each of Carolina's first two regular-season games, but it looks like the team wasn't satisfied with his performance as a depth option in the tight end corps. His roster spot will be taken by fellow tight end Feleipe Franks, who the Panthers are signing off the practice squad.

Matthews failed to haul in his only target during Sunday's 47-10 loss to the Saints. Matthews served as the Panthers' No. 2 tight end behind Ja'Tavion Sanders with Ian Thomas (calf) and Tommy Tremble (hamstring) out in Week 1, but Matthews failed to produce whatsoever. The 32-year-old was was unable to haul in his one target Sunday, playing 20 offensive snaps. Given Carolina's immense offensive struggles Sunday, it appears unlikely that Matthews will be fantasy-relevant in 2024.

Matthews signed with the Panthers' 53-man roster Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

The Panthers are slated to release Matthews on Tuesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports. Matthews looked relatively solid throughout the preseason with Carolina, so he could earn a spot on the team's practice squad once the dust of roster cuts settles. The veteran WR-turned-TE has only played a combined four regular-season games in the last four seasons, so at this point in his career he's most suitable as a deeper reserve option.
