Panthers' Dan Chisena: Signed to Panthers' active roster
Rotowire
The Panthers signed Chisena off the practice squad to the active roster Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Chisena signed with the Panthers' practice squad in mid-October after being cut from the Cardinals' practice squad. Chisena was elevated to Carolina's active roster from Week 12 to 14, and over those three games he played 39 snaps (nine on offense, 30 on special teams) and caught his lone target for six yards. Chisena will provide the Panthers depth at wide receiver, and he could see some snaps on offense against the Cardinals on Sunday if rookie first-round pick Xavier Legette (groin) is unable to play.

Steelers' Dan Chisena: Lands future deal
Rotowire
The Steelers signed Chisena to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Chisena signed a practice-squad deal with the Vikings after failing to make the team's initial 53-man roster and saw two elevations during the 2022 campaign, though 24 of his 26 snaps during those contests came on special teams.
