Jewell (head) was released by the Panthers on Tuesday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports. Jewell has remained in concussion protocol since suffering a concussion in the Panthers' Week 15 overtime win over the Cardinals last season. The linebacker compiled 97 total tackles (51 solo), including a career-high 3.5 sacks, while also adding two fumble recoveries and an interception over 12 regular-season contests with Carolina in 2024. If Jewell can shake the concussion symptoms, it won't take long for him to find another opportunity elsewhere.

Jewell (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons. Jewell was DNP all week long and will miss a second straight contest due to the concussion. Jewell's 2024 ends with 97 tackles (51 solo), including seven TFLs and 3.5 sacks, seven pass breakups, including one interception, and a pair of fumble recoveries across 12 appearances. Chandler Wooten should once again fill in at linebacker for Week 18 against Atlanta.

Jewell (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday. Jewell is no longer listed as having a quadriceps injury, as he was last week, but the linebacker continues to be in concussion protocol and still isn't practicing. The 30-year-old missed this past Sunday's Week 17 game against Tampa Bay and isn't certain to be able to return for the Panthers' season finale Sunday against Atlanta. Chandler Wooten stepped into a starting role last week in Jewell's stead.

Jewell (concussion/quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bucs. Carolina is dipping deep into its reserves for help at linebacker this late into the season. With Jewell out for Week 17 and now seemingly in the concussion protocol, he joins Trevin Wallace (shoulder, IR), Shaq Thompson (Achilles, IR) and Claudin Cherelus (toe, IR) on the sidelines. The Panthers are down to Jacoby Windmon, Jon Rhattigan and Chandler Wooten as their healthy linebackers ahead of a date with Bucky Irving.

Jewell (neck/head/quadriceps) did not participate in Thursday's practice. Jewell was able to participate in Tuesday's half-speed practice, but he was held out of Thursday's session due to a trio of injuries. If he's unable to return to practice Friday, he would likely be ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. With Trevin Wallace (shoulder) on injured reserve, Jon Rhattigan and Chandler Wooten would be the top candidates to start at inside linebacker alongside Jacoby Windmon if Jewell is unable to play.
