Josey Jewell: Everything you need to know

Jewell (head) was released by the Panthers on Tuesday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports. Jewell has remained in concussion protocol since suffering a concussion in the Panthers' Week 15 overtime win over the Cardinals last season. The linebacker compiled 97 total tackles (51 solo), including a career-high 3.5 sacks, while also adding two fumble recoveries and an interception over 12 regular-season contests with Carolina in 2024. If Jewell can shake the concussion symptoms, it won't take long for him to find another opportunity elsewhere.

Jewell (head) is participating in OTAs, Jeff Hawkins of The Charlotte Post reports. The linebacker had to miss the last two games of 2024 after suffering a concussion. He finished 2024 with 97 tackles (51 solo), including 3.5 sacks, seven pass breakups, including an interception, and two fumble recoveries in 12 games. Jewell recorded over 100 tackles in three of the four seasons before that, all with Denver.

Jewell (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons. Jewell was DNP all week long and will miss a second straight contest due to the concussion. Jewell's 2024 ends with 97 tackles (51 solo), including seven TFLs and 3.5 sacks, seven pass breakups, including one interception, and a pair of fumble recoveries across 12 appearances. Chandler Wooten should once again fill in at linebacker for Week 18 against Atlanta.
