The Stephen Hill experiment with the Carolina Panthers is over.
The Panthers cut the former second-round pick Sunday afternoon, and the wide receiver was among 11 players who were cut before Tuesday afternoon’s deadline.
Hill, who 45 career receptions in two seasons with the Jets, was trying to come back from a devastating knee injury suffered in last year’s training camp. He never could regain his speed or mobility though, and he lumbered through this year’s training camp.
The Panthers also released offensive tackle David Foucault. Carolina signed the Canadian in 2014 in hopes of being able to mold the project into an NFL tackle.
