Top Dezmen Southward News

  • Panthers' Dezmen Southward: Remains with Carolina

    Southward signed a reserve/future contract with the Panthers on Monday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Southward spent the 2017 season on the Panthers' practice squad and also had a brief 10-day stint on the 53-man roster. The 27-year-old hasn't seen consistent game action since his rookie campaign with the Falcons in 2014.

  • Dezmen Southward: Waived by Panthers

    The Panthers waived Southward on Monday, Max Henson of the team's official website reports.

    Southward was let go in order for the team to increase their depth at quarterback. He was just promoted to the active roster last week and will now presumably revert back to the Panthers' practice squad.

  • Panthers' Dezmen Southward: Earns promotion

    Southward was promoted from the practice squad Friday.

    After Daeshon Hall (knee) was sent to injured reserve, a roster spot opened up. Since safeties Demetrious Cox (ankle) and Kurt Coleman (knee) are listed as out for Sunday's game against the Lions, bringing up a safety was an easy choice. Southward will slot in as the No. 4 safety and likely won't see many defensive snaps, if any, but he'll be deployed in special teams situations.

    Southward is dealing with a sore back, Joe Person of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Southward appears to have suffered the injury during Monday's practice.

  • Panthers' Dezmen Southward: Signed to future contract with Panthers

    Southward has been signed to a future contract by the Panthers, Bryan Strickland of Panthers.com reports.

  • Panthers' Dezmen Southward: Signed to Panthers practice squad

    Southward (undisclosed) was signed to the Panthers' practice squad Wednesday.

He hadn't latched on with any other team this season until the Panthers added him to round out their practice squad after adding a pair of players to the active roster Tuesday.
