Carolina signed Matthews from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports. Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reported Saturday that Matthews was expected to be elevated from the practice squad to the active roster, but the 2014 second-round pick has been signed to the 53-man roster instead. With Feleipe Franks (concussion) ruled out for Sunday's game against New Orleans and Tommy Tremble (back) listed as questionable, Matthews could see meaningful snaps on offense behind rookie Ja'Tavion Sanders and Ian Thomas.

The Panthers are expected to elevate Matthews from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports. Matthews was on the Panthers' active roster for the first two games of the regular season. He was released from the 53-man roster Sept. 17, but he opted to stay in Carolina on the practice squad. Matthews will provide depth at tight end Sunday, as Feleipe Franks (concussion) has been ruled out and Tommy Tremble (back) is listed as questionable.

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.
