The Panthers released Sims (undisclosed) from the reserve/PUP list with an injury settlement Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
After being placed on the active/PUP list at the start of training camp with an unspecified injury, Sims was moved to the reserve/PUP list July 26. Now that he's reached an injury settlement, he will have the opportunity to join another team once he is fully healthy. His last NFL action was in 2022 with the Commanders, when he recorded eight catches on 18 targets for 89 yards across 17 regular-season games.

Panthers' Cam Sims: Moved to reserve/PUP list
Rotowire
The Panthers placed Sims (undisclosed) on the reserve/PUP list Friday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Sims had previously been placed on the active/PUP list, and in moving to the reserve/PUP list, he now won't count as part of the Panthers' 90-man roster. Carolina will have until cut-down day to determine if the wideout will be activated or remain on the reserve/PUP list, in which case he'd need to sit out the first four games of the campaign. Sims had been looking to vie for a roster spot in training camp after signing with Carolina on a reserve/future contract in January.

Panthers' Cam Sims: Lands on PUP list
Rotowire
The Panthers placed Sims (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Saturday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Sims signed a reserve/future contract with Carolina in January after jumping around between the practice squads of multiple organizations last year. He could still have a chance in training camp to compete for a spot on the Panthers' 53-man roster, but he'll need to pass a physical before he's eligible to practice and play in preseason contests.

Cam Sims: Cut loose by Raiders
Rotowire
Sims was released by Las Vegas on Tuesday.
Sims spent five seasons as a depth receiver in Washington before signing a deal with the Raiders in March. However, the 27-year-old was not able to break through during his time with Las Vegas this preseason, and he'll once again become an unrestricted free agent ahead of the 2023 campaign. Sims recorded eight receptions (on 18 targets) for 89 yards across 17 appearances with the Commanders last season.

Commanders' Cam Sims: Suiting up Sunday night
Rotowire
Sims (back) has been ruled active for Sunday Night Football against the Giants.
Sims will suit up for his 14th game of the season despite being limited in each practice Week 15 with a back injury. He'll likely continue to slot in alongside Dax Milne as Washington's No. 5 and No. 6 receivers in this pivotal divisional matchup.

Commanders' Cam Sims: Questionable with back injury
Rotowire
Sims (back) is considered questionable to play in Week 15 against the Giants, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Sims was limited in practice all week while dealing with a back injury, placing uncertainty on his availability for Sunday's matchup with New York. If he's unable to go, the wide receiver's absence wouldn't carry much of an impact on the Commanders' offensive game plan.

Commanders' Cam Sims: Ranks fifth in receiver snaps
Rotowire
Sims played nine snaps on offense and went without a target in Sunday's 19-13 win over the Falcons.
For the first time since Week 4, Sims failed to draw a look in the passing game. With all of Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson, Curtis Samuel and Dyami Brown available to the Commanders, Sims' opportunities to contribute at receiver will likely be few and far between over the final six weeks of the season.

Commanders' Cam Sims: Targeted twice on 49 snaps
Rotowire
Sims played 80 percent of the offensive snaps in Sunday's 17-16 win over Indianapolis, catching one of two targets for 21 yards.
With Jahan Dotson (hamstring) out for a fourth straight game and Dyami Brown (groin) inactive as well, Sims made his second start of the season and topped a 50 percent snap share for a fourth straight game. It's the third year in a row injuries higher up on the depth chart have allowed Sims to make multiple starts, and per usual he's near the bottom of the league in targets per route/snap, having yet to see more than two passes in a game even with all the playing time. Expectations should remain low if he gets another start in Week 9 against Minnesota.

Commanders' Cam Sims: Playing limited snaps
Rotowire
Sims didn't draw a target while playing four snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-10 loss to Dallas.
Sims has drawn single-digit snaps in each of Washington's first four games and has thus far been held without a catch on three targets. His playing-time outlook could improve Week 5 against the Titans, as rookie wideout Jahan Dotson (hamstring) is unlikely to be available.

Commanders' Cam Sims: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Sims (concussion) isn't listed on Friday's injury report, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Sims entered concussion protocols Aug. 24 and was limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday but has since been cleared for full participation. The fifth-year wideout has caught 47 of 72 targets for 688 yards and three scores over the last two seasons and is projected to be Washington's fourth wideout behind Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson and Curtis Samuel.

Commanders' Cam Sims: Lands in concussion protocol
Rotowire
The Commanders placed Sims in concussion protocol Wednesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
It's unclear when Sims suffered the injury, but he's had a strong camp and was expected to be Washington's top wideout behind Terry McLaurin, Curtis Samuel and rookie Jahan Dotson. It's unlikely Sims suits up for Saturday's preseason finale against the Ravens, but he'll have more than two weeks to be cleared for Week 1 of the regular season.

Commanders' Cam Sims: Locks up No. 4 spot
Rotowire
Sims looks to have won Washington's No. 4 receiver spot, according to Ben Standig of The Athletic
It's a familiar role for Sims, who made 10 starts in 2020 and three in 2021. He owns career marks of 14.6 yards per catch and 9.7 yards per target, but with consistently low rates of targets per route. Like many oversized receivers, the 6-foot-5 Sims struggles to get open but can make contested catches and has value on special teams. In terms of fantasy potential, 2021 third-round pick Dyami Brown might be slightly more interesting as a fill-in starter, though it isn't a good sign that he's fallen behind Sims on the back end of the depth chart for a second straight year.

Commanders' Cam Sims: Re-signs with Washington
Rotowire
Sims re-signed Wednesday with the Commanders on a two-year, $3 million contract, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Sims sticks with the only team he's ever known, having mostly served as a backup since first catching on with Washington in 2018. He made 10 starts in 2020 and finished the season with 477 yards, but then dropped to a 15-211-2 receiving line in 14 games last season (three starts). He'll likely be fourth or fifth on the wideout depth chart entering training camp this summer.

Commanders' Cam Sims: Finishes year with 15 catches
Rotowire
Sims finished the 2021 season with 15 catches for 211 yards and two touchdowns on 23 targets, making three starts in 14 games.
Sims finished out the season as Washington's No. 2 receiver -- at least in terms of snaps -- for the second straight year, though this time he made only three starts instead of 10. In addition to starting seven fewer contests than in 2020, he finished with about half the receiving production in each category, apart from TDs (32-477-1 on 48 targets in 2020). The 26-year-old Sims is now scheduled for free agency this spring, and he should catch on somewhere as a depth receiver and special teams player if he doesn't re-sign with Washington first. It'll be more of a surprise if he attracts serious interest as a potential starter, given that he struggled to make his presence felt the past two years even when he got more playing time.
