The Carolina Panthers have added much-needed help to their injury-depleted secondary, signing former Las Vegas Raiders and Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Jakorian Bennett to their practice squad.
Bennett, a fourth-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, has appeared in 35 career games with 12 starts, recording 65 tackles and 12 pass breakups.
Philadelphia waived the 26-year-old earlier this week after injuries and limited playing time derailed what was once a promising start to his NFL career.

Now, Bennett gets a fresh start in Carolina, and his previous production with the Raiders suggests he could bring more to the Panthers than just additional depth.
