The Panthers released Haynes on Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports. Haynes signed with the Panthers on Oct. 12 and played in the team's last two games. He registered four tackles (three solo) during the Panthers' Week 7 loss to the Commanders on Sunday, but it appears he is no longer a part of Carolina's plans this season. Haynes, who was selected by the Panthers in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft, will look for his next opportunity elsewhere.

Haynes (undisclosed) worked out with the Panthers on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Haynes spent the first six seasons of his NFL career with the Panthers after being selected in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft. He signed with the Cardinals on Aug. 6 to contend for a spot on the 53-man roster, but he was let go just three days later with an injury settlement. Haynes appears to be healthy from whatever was ailing him, and he'll attempt to catch on with the team that originally drafted him. His most productive season was in 2022, when he posted 29 tackles (20 solo), including 5.0 sacks, four passes defended and a fumble recovery for a touchdown over 17 regular-season games.

The Cardinals released Haynes with an injury waiver Friday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports. Haynes will be cut from Arizona just three days after his signing. The veteran linebacker battled a back injury in the 2023 season, but he still logged 16 tackles (13 solo) and one sack across seven games.

The Cardinals signed Haynes to a contract Tuesday. The move corresponds with the Cardinals placing BJ Ojulari (knee) on injured reserve Monday. Haynes spent the first six years of his NFL career with the Panthers after being drafted in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft. He missed the first nine regular-season games of 2023 due to a back injury, and he was ruled out for the season finale due to a concussion he sustained in Week 17. Haynes' most productive campaign came in 2022, when he accumulated 29 tackles (20 solo), including 5.0 sacks, along with four passes defended and a fumble recovery for a touchdown across 17 regular-season games.

Haynes (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. The 30-year-old was held out of practice all week after sustaining a concussion during the Panthers' Week 17 loss to the Jaguars, so it's no surprise that he'll be inactive for the team's season finale. DJ Johnson could see more work as a rotational outside linebacker in Haynes' stead.
