The Panthers released Hollister on Tuesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Hollister turns 31 in November and missed all of last season after reaching an injury settlement with the Raiders. He has 62 games of NFL experience with a career 83-707-7 receiving line, but Hollister didn't do enough to win a 53-man roster spot in Carolina this summer, finishing the preseason with four catches for 27 yards.

Rotowire
Hollister and the Panthers agreed on a contract Sunday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Hollister sat out the entire 2023 season after reaching an injury settlement with the Raiders last August, but he appears to be fully healthy ahead of the 2024 campaign. With Ian Thomas (calf) sidelined for the time being and Stephen Sullivan (quadriceps) out for the season, Hollister will provide Carolina with another depth option behind Tommy Tremble (hamstring) at tight end.

Raiders' Jacob Hollister: Lands on IR
Rotowire
The Raiders placed Hollister (undisclosed) on injured reserve Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Hollister signed with the Raiders on Aug 2. and was competing for a depth spot at tight end behind Austin Hooper, 2023 second-round pick Michael Mayer and Jesper Horsted. Hollister split time last season with the Raiders, Vikings and Seahawks but failed to record a catch over five games. He's set to miss the 2023 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with Las Vegas.

Jacob Hollister: Gets another chance with Seattle
Rotowire
The Seahawks signed Hollister to their practice squad Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Hollister played for Seattle in 2019 and 2020, compiling 66 catches for 558 yards and six touchdowns over 27 contests. The Wyoming product then latched on with Jacksonville last season but played in only seven games, and he competed in five contests between Minnesota and Las Vegas this season but didn't see any receiving targets while playing almost exclusively on special teams. Hollister could get a chance to be elevated to Seattle's active roster in short order with Will Dissly (knee) hitting IR on Tuesday, though he'd likely see limited playing time behind Noah Fant and Colby Parkinson.

Jacob Hollister: Done with Raiders
Rotowire
Las Vegas waived Hollister on Saturday.
With Darren Waller (hamstring) finally coming off of the injured reserve list, the Raiders decided to part ways with Hollister. Provided he isn't claimed by another team during the current waiver period, Hollister is set to become an unrestricted free agent.

Raiders' Jacob Hollister: Joins Las Vegas
Rotowire
The Raiders signed Hollister off the Vikings' practice squad Friday.
Hollister will join the Raiders' 53-man roster as a replacement for fellow tight end Darren Waller (hamstring), who was moved to injured reserve Thursday. Foster Moreau is expected to continue starting at tight end in Waller's stead while handling a near-every-down role, so Hollister and Jesper Horsted aren't likely to see much involvement on offense for the time being. Instead, if Hollister is active for this weekend's game against the Colts, he might see most of his playing time on special teams.

Jacob Hollister: Returns to practice squad
Rotowire
Hollister reverted to the Vikings' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Hollister was elevated to the active roster for a second time this season and played primarily on special teams. However, with Irv Smith (ankle) unlikely to play in Week 9, it's possible Hollister gets another elevation and may even crack the offensive rotation while operating as the No. 2 tight end behind Johnny Mundt.

Minnesota elevated Hollister from its practice squad to the active roster Saturday for Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, Tyler Forness of USA Today reports.

Jacob Hollister: Inks with practice squad
Rotowire
Hollister (undisclosed) signed with the Vikings' practice squad Tuesday.
Hollister had signed a one-year deal with the Raiders in the spring and was placed on IR on Aug. 30, but he was waived with an injury settlement Sept 2. Now fully recovered from the unknown injury, Hollister has found a home on the Vikings' practice squad, where he'll certainly work to get a chance with the active roster.

Raiders' Jacob Hollister: Latches on with Vegas
Rotowire
Hollister signed a one-year contract with the Raiders on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Hollister is coming off a down year with the Jaguars, recording nine catches for 55 yards and a score in seven games. He'll benefit from veteran quarterback play in Derek Carr with his new squad, but he also will need to compete with Foster Moreau and Nick Bowers to get on the field, with Darren Waller in firm command of the top tight end spot.

Jaguars' Jacob Hollister: Activated off COVID-19 list
Rotowire
Jacksonville activated Hollister (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.
Hollister tested positive for the virus last Tuesday and was sidelined for the Jaguars' Week 17 blowout loss to the Patriots. In his last appearance, he caught both of his targets for a season-high 20 receiving yards. With James O'Shaughnessy (hip) iffy for Sunday's season finale and Dan Arnold (knee) no safe bet to return from injured reserve, Hollister could have a role in the Jaguars' Week 18 game plan if neither of the former two options are available.

Jaguars' Jacob Hollister: Placed on reserve/COVID-19 list
Rotowire
Hollister (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday.
The tight end tested positive for the virus Tuesday, putting his ability to play Sunday against the Patriots in question. Hollister will enter the league's protocols, and if he can't play in Week 17, the newly acquired Kahale Warring could be in line for a substantial role in the contest.

Jaguars' Jacob Hollister: Secures two receptions
Rotowire
Hollister caught both his targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Jets.
Hollister was targeted for the first time since Week 5 and played 36 of 73 offensive snaps Sunday, which was only six fewer snaps than starting tight end James O'Shaughnessy. Hollister has found himself back in the mix under interim coach Darrell Bevell, though his role doesn't offer much fantasy potential.

Jaguars' Jacob Hollister: Suiting up Sunday
Rotowire
Hollister is active for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Hollister hasn't seen game action since Week 6 but will suit up for the first game with interim coach Darrell Bevell leading the way. The 28-year-old should work as the No. 3 tight end in place of Luke Farrell, who is a healthy scratch Sunday.

Jaguars' Jacob Hollister: Inactive once again
Rotowire
Hollister (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Hollister has been working as a backup option at tight end with Dan Arnold sitting at the top of the depth chart. Hollister has appeared in just four games this season, making four catches on nine targets for 21 yards and a touchdown.

Jaguars' Jacob Hollister: Scores on lone target
Rotowire
Hollister caught a one-yard touchdown during Sunday's 37-19 loss to the Titans.
Hollister played only 15 offensive snaps but cashed in on his lone target with the one-yard score during the second quarter. Trade acquisition Dan Arnold has cemented himself atop the depth chart at tight end since being acquired from Carolina, while Hollister, Chris Manhertz and Luke Farrell continue to split snaps as depth options.

Jaguars' Jacob Hollister: Totals 15 yards on six targets
Rotowire
Hollister caught two of six targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 31-19 loss to the Cardinals.
The 27-year-old led Jacksonville's tight ends by playing 68 percent of the offensive snaps, and he ended up having two of his targets intercepted, including one that was a clear drop. It was Hollister's first game action of the season after signing with the Jags in early September, and his audition for the starting role didn't go particularly well. Dan Arnold was acquired from the Panthers on Monday and should be in the mix to start at tight end with James O'Shaughnessy (ankle) on injured reserve for the foreseeable future.

Jaguars' Jacob Hollister: Joining Jacksonville
Rotowire
Hollister agreed to a contract with the Jaguars on Thursday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
The 27-year-old spent camp with the Bills and was unable to make the season-opening roster, and he'll now receive an opportunity with the Jags. Jacksonville has a weak group of tight ends with Chris Manhertz, James O'Shaughnessy and Luke Farrell, so Hollister could carve out a role in the offense with a strong showing at practice early on.
