The Carolina Panthers are adding some depth to their secondary after signing former Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Jakorian Bennett to their practice squad. Bennett was released by Philadelphia earlier this week, but Carolina wasted little time bringing him in, according to NFL insider Mike Garafolo.
The move could give Bennett an opportunity to get back on the field sooner rather than later. The Panthers’ cornerback room is thin right now, creating a potential opening for the former fourth-round pick to earn a spot on the active roster.
Depending on how things develop, Bennett could have a chance to contribute as soon as this weekend or next.
