Da'Norris Searcy: Cut by Carolina
The Panthers released Da'Norris Searcy on Monday.Searcy has 58 NFL starts to his name, including two last year for the Panthers before concussion symptoms brought his season to an early end. Rashaan Gaulden now becomes a clear favorite to start alongside Eric Reid at safety in Carolina, while the 30-year-old Searcy may need to compete for a roster spot elsewhere. Reid is the safest bet for IDP production in the Panthers secondary.

Da'Norris Searcy (concussion) will play during the 2019 season, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Charlotte Observer reports.Searcy played only two games in 2018 as his season was derailed by concussions.

Panthers' Da'Norris Searcy: Won't play Week 13
Da'Norris Searcy (concussion) won't be activated off injured reserve for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, Max Henson of the Carolina Panthers' official site reports.Searcy returned to practice this week and was designated to return by the Panthers, so it's not surprising they want some more time to evaluate him in practice. The 30-year-old has a 21-day window to be activated from the day he was designated to return (Nov. 28), so there's still plenty of time before a decision needs to be made.

Panthers' Da'Norris Searcy: Designated for return
Da'Norris Searcy (concussion) has been designated for return by the Carolina Panthers, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.Searcy has already sat out eight games because of the concussion, allowing him to return at any time during the 21-day window that opens following his designation for return. It's unclear exactly how soon the Panthers anticipate Searcy returning from the issue, while the signing of Eric Reid during Searcy's absence could complicate the Panthers' safety spot when Searcy is cleared to return.

Panthers' Da'Norris Searcy: Nearing return to practice
Da'Norris Searcy (concussion) worked on the side with trainers at practice Wednesday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Charlotte Observer reports.Searcy landed on injured reserve after suffering the concussion Week 2 against the Falcons and is eligible to return this week, though he has yet to officially be given the IR-return designation. If the 30-year-old is designated to return, he would then have a 21-day practice window in which he could be activated or he will remain on IR for the duration of the season. The Carolina Panthers signed Eric Reid to start at safety opposite Mike Adams after Searcy was placed on IR, so the team can remain cautious with his return.

Panthers' Da'Norris Searcy: Not practicing Thursday
Da'Norris Searcy (concussion) is not practicing Thursday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.Searcy left Sunday's game against the Falcons in the second half and never returned after he was examined for a possible concussion. This is obviously not an encouraging sign for his availability for Sunday's contest. Colin Jones took over in his absence last week, and he'll be the favorite to do so again this week if Searcy is ruled out.
