The Carolina Panthers front office is busy throughout the season with transactions, roster moves, and injury updates. Here’s what’s happening at Mint Street this week.
With the Panthers entering a bye week, there’s little to report on the injury front, which is a good thing. Guard Chandler Zavala (elbow) and running back Rico Dowdle (quad) didn’t practice on Wednesday, but those were the only two absences of note.
Re-signed CB Kalen King to the practice squad
There is only one transaction of note as of publication during the Panthers bye week, and that’s the re-signing of cornerback Kalen King to the practice squad.
King’s name should be at least somewhat familiar to Panthers fans. He signed with Carolina’s practice squad this past August and was promoted to the active roster for last week’s game. King made his NFL debut last week when he played seven special teams snaps in the Panthers win over the Rams, though he didn’t record any stats. The 22-year-old was then subsequently waived on Tuesday and quickly re-signed to the practice squad on Thursday.
In college King played three seasons for Penn State before getting selected in the seventh round of the 2024 draft by the Green Bay Packers. He spend most of his 2024 rookie season on the Packers practice squad before getting released after the season and signing with the Panthers.
