Chisena caught three of his four targets for 37 yards across six regular-season games in 2024. Chisena joined the Panthers' practice squad in mid-October after beginning his 2024 campaign in Arizona. The Penn State product went on to appear in six of Carolina's final seven games this season, recording the first three receptions of his NFL career while also contributing on special teams (80 special-teams snaps). After inking a deal to join the Panthers' active roster Dec. 17, Chisena is set to be a restricted free agent this summer, meaning Carolina can match any offer he receives from another team. If the 27-year-old remains with the Panthers, he'll likely compete for a depth role in the team's wide-receiver room throughout the offseason.

Chisena caught three of his four targets for 37 yards across six regular-season games in 2024. Chisena joined the Panthers' practice squad in mid-October after beginning his 2024 campaign in Arizona. The Penn State product went on to appear in six of Carolina's final seven games this season, recording the first three receptions of his NFL career while also contributing on special teams (80 special-teams snaps). After inking a deal to join the Panthers' active roster Dec. 17, Chisena is set to be a restricted free agent this summer, meaning Carolina can match any offer he receives from another team. If the 27-year-old remains with the Panthers, he'll likely compete for a depth role in the team's wide-receiver room throughout the offseason.
The Panthers signed Chisena off the practice squad to the active roster Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports. Chisena signed with the Panthers' practice squad in mid-October after being cut from the Cardinals' practice squad. Chisena was elevated to Carolina's active roster from Week 12 to 14, and over those three games he played 39 snaps (nine on offense, 30 on special teams) and caught his lone target for six yards. Chisena will provide the Panthers depth at wide receiver, and he could see some snaps on offense against the Cardinals on Sunday if rookie first-round pick Xavier Legette (groin) is unable to play.
Chisena reverted to Carolina's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Chisena played 11 snaps (six on offense, five on special teams) but did not show up in the box score during Sunday's 22-16 loss to the Eagles. It was the third time Chisena was elevated from the practice squad, which means the Panthers would have to sign him to the active roster in order to keep playing him.
The Panthers elevated Chisena from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports. It's the third straight game that Chisena has been elevated for, and he'll give the Panthers added depth at wide receiver for Sunday's game against the Eagles as Jalen Coker (quadriceps) is unlikely to play. Chisena caught his lone target for six yards while playing 19 snaps (two on offense, 17 on special teams) in the Panthers' Week 13 overtime loss to the Buccaneers.
Chisena reverted to the Panthers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log. Chisena caught his only target for six yards while playing two of the team's 70 total offensive snaps. Additionally, he logged 17 snaps with the special-teams unit, failing to record any stats on those snaps. The wide receiver can be elevated to the active roster one more time before Carolina would officially have to sign him.
The Panthers elevated Chisena from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports. Chisena will be elevated to the Panthers' active roster for a second straight week. He played nine snaps (one on offense, eight on special teams) and did not record a stat in Week 12. Chisena gives Carolina an extra body for special teams and added depth at wide receiver.
The Panthers reverted Chisena to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Chisena got his first elevation of the season for Sunday's Week 12 loss to Kansas City but played just one offensive snap. He also logged eight snaps on special teams. The veteran wideout remains without a catch or a target in his NFL career, as the vast majority of his work over 32 regular-season contests has come on special teams.
The Panthers elevated Chisena from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports. Chisena started the 2024 regular season on the Cardinals' practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he was cut by Arizona on Oct. 11. He signed with the Panthers' practice squad Oct. 16, and he will be elevated to the active roster Saturday for the first time this season. Chisena played in four regular-season games for the Cardinals in 2023, with 53 of his 54 snaps coming on special teams.
Chisena signed with the Panthers' practice squad Wednesday, Anthony Rizzuti of USA Today reports. Chisena was cut from the Cardinals' practice squad on Oct. 11, and it didn't take him long to find a new home in Carolina. The Penn State product appeared in four games with the Cardinals this season, playing almost strictly on special teams (53 of 54 total snaps). Chisena could be added to Carolina's active roster if team's wide receiver room faces injuries later this season.
