Caden Sterns: Breaking News
Headed to Carolina
The Panthers claimed Sterns off waivers Tuesday, Kassidy Hill of the team's official site reports. Sterns was waived by the Broncos on Monday, and it didn't take long for the 2021 fifth-round pick to find a new home. The concern for Sterns has been his inability to stay on the field in his three-year career. He tore the patellar tendon in his knee in Week 1 of 2023, and he played in just five regular-season games in 2022. When healthy, Sterns will provide valuable depth at safety behind starters Jordan Fuller and Xavier Woods.
