Austin Duke Added to Panthers Practice Squad

The NFL Carolina Panthers have added Charlotte 49ers' all-time leading receiver Austin Duke (Charlotte, N.C./Independence) to the team's practice squad. He is now the third member of the 49ers original class to be signed to an NFL in-season roster.

DL Larry Ogunjobi (Greensboro, N.C./Ragsdale) made the 2017 Cleveland Browns 53-man roster and DL Brandon Banks (High Point, N.C./Southwest Guilford) is on the Washington Redskins practice squad.

In addition, RB Kalif Phillips (Kannapolis, N.C./A.L. Brown) competed throughout the 2017 preseason with the Green Bay Packers, before being waived as the team trimmed to the 53-man roster.
