• Mike Boone: Will work as No. 2 back at practice

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Panthers head coach Dave Canales said Monday that Boone will work as the No. 2 running back behind Chuba Hubbard with Jonathon Brooks (knee) out for the year and Raheem Blackshear (chest) considered day-to-day, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports. Boone, who Carolina signed to the practice squad back in October, could get a chance to be elevated Week 15 against Dallas, as currently Hubbard is the only healthy running back on the Panthers' active roster. If Blackshear is forced to sit out versus the Cowboys, Boone may even be called upon to work as the top backup to Hubbard. Carolina's other most notable depth option, Miles Sanders (ankle), won't be eligible to return from IR until Week 16, at the earliest.

  Boone signed with the Panthers' practice squad Thursday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports. Boone has bounced between Carolina's practice squad, active roster and free agency this season. He was most recently released from the 53-man roster Tuesday and hadn't suited up since Week 3, when he played just 15 snaps on special teams. In a corresponding move, the Panthers released Stephen Sullivan from the practice squad to make room for Boone.

  The Panthers released Boone on Tuesday. Boone had appeared in just two of the Panthers' first five games, logging five offensive snaps and another 34 on special teams. He rushed four times for seven scoreless yards. Boone had been serving as Carolina's RB4 behind Chuba Hubbard, Miles Sanders and Raheem Blackshear. Boone is now 29 years old and will look for work elsewhere, though he's also a candidate to go to Carolina's practice squad.

• Panthers' Mike Boone: Inactive for Week 2

  09/15/2024 • By RotoWire

  Boone (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports. The Panthers signed Boone off the practice squad to the active roster Tuesday after he played 24 snaps (five on offense, 19 on special teams) and turned four carries into seven yards in Week 1 against the Saints. The 29-year-old will not suit up against the Chargers, however, and the Panthers will go with Chuba Hubbard, Miles Sanders and Raheem Blackshear as the three active running backs for Sunday's contest. Boone's next chance at playing will be Week 3 against the Raiders on Sept. 22.

  The Panthers are slated to sign Boone to the 53-man roster from the practice squad Tuesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports. Boone had been elevated from the practice squad against the Saints in Week 1. He only took four carries for seven yards in the blowout loss (on five offensive snaps), but also played 68 percent of snaps on special teams. Boone figures to reprise a similar depth role against the Chargers on Sunday.
