Carolina cut Wims on Tuesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Wims inked with the Panthers in late July, but he couldn't earn a spot on the team's initial 53-man roster. The veteran wideout will look to latch on in a depth role elsewhere if he isn't brought back to Carolina's practice squad.

Rotowire
Cleveland placed Wims (undisclosed) on the active/non-football illness list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
It's unclear what Wims' illness is or when he might be expected to return. He hasn't seen game action since 2020, so if he makes it back before Week 1 he'll have to compete to make the roster, with Amari Cooper, Donovan Peoples-Jones, David Bell, Anthony Schwartz, Jakeem Grant, Ja'Marcus Bradley and Mike Woods also in the Browns' wide receiver mix.

The 2018 seventh-round pick spent three-plus years with the team that drafted him, catching 28 passes for 266 yards and two touchdowns in 33 regular-season games.

Bears' Javon Wims: Dealing with oblique injury
Rotowire
Wims will not practice Monday due to an oblique strain, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Wims was facing tough competition for a roster spot even before Chicago's recent signing of Isaiah Coulter, and with roster cuts right around the corner, the timing of his oblique injury couldn't be much worse. Wims appeared in 13 games for the Bears in 2020 and hauled in six of 12 targets for 48 yards and one touchdown.

Bears' Javon Wims: No lock to make team
Rotowire
Wims is in a camp battle with Riley Ridley Rodney Adams and Chris Lacy for a roster spot, Adam Jahns of The Athletic reports.
Wims played just 17 snaps in the season opener and was targeted once, resulting in an incomplete pass, and he also was flagged for a false start penalty on a third-down play. During his three years with the Bears, he's had opportunities to be in the starting lineup, but he hasn't posted more than 186 yards and one touchdown in a season. To make the team, he'll likely need to show well on special teams, and if he makes the squad, he's unlikely to be higher than fifth on the team's depth chart at wide receiver.

Wims has not seen the field since Week 8, when he was handed a two-game suspension for fighting and a one-game benching by coach Matt Nagy after his altercation with C.J. Gardner-Johnson in the game.
