Matthews failed to haul in his only target during Sunday's 47-10 loss to the Saints. Matthews served as the Panthers' No. 2 tight end behind Ja'Tavion Sanders with Ian Thomas (calf) and Tommy Tremble (hamstring) out in Week 1, but Matthews failed to produce whatsoever. The 32-year-old was was unable to haul in his one target Sunday, playing 20 offensive snaps. Given Carolina's immense offensive struggles Sunday, it appears unlikely that Matthews will be fantasy-relevant in 2024.

Jordan Matthews Latest News
Disappoints Week 1

Lands on active roster

Matthews signed with the Panthers' 53-man roster Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports. Matthews was originally waived by the team Tuesday, then signed to their practice squad Wednesday. He now finds himself on the active roster, with Tommy Tremble (hamstring) and Ian Thomas (calf) both questionable for Week 1 against the Saints.
Cut by Carolina

The Panthers are slated to release Matthews on Tuesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports. Matthews looked relatively solid throughout the preseason with Carolina, so he could earn a spot on the team's practice squad once the dust of roster cuts settles. The veteran WR-turned-TE has only played a combined four regular-season games in the last four seasons, so at this point in his career he's most suitable as a deeper reserve option.
Leads Carolina in receiving

Matthews caught all three of his targets for 48 yards during Thursday's 17-3 preseason loss to the Patriots. The Panthers are desperate for a tight end that can be a vertical threat, and they may have found a hidden gem in the former Eagles wideout. Matthews (19 snaps) played behind rookie Ja'Tavion Sanders (24 snaps) during Thursday's contest, but Matthews outperformed him, as Sanders failed to even see a target. With Carolina's tight-end corps being one of the weakest units in football over the last few seasons, Matthews could find his way onto the team's 53-man roster if he continues to impress.
Waived by Carolina

Less than a week after joining the active roster, Matthews is now slated to become a free agent. He played 19 snaps in Week 10 at Chicago, all on special teams.
Signs with Panthers' practice squad

Matthews sustained a torn ACL in August of 2022 that forced him out for the entirety of last season, but he'll now be back in pads with the Panthers. Carolina already holds three healthy tight ends on its active roster, so it would be somewhat surprising to see Matthews elevated in the near future.
