Gill was signed from the Lions' practice squad to the Panthers' active roster Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Gill was with the Panthers during training camp, but he was unable to make the 53-man roster after injuring his ankle in the preseason finale. Gill will provide depth at linebacker for the Panthers, who are dealing with multiple injuries at the position including Jadeveon Clowney (shoulder), Josey Jewell (hamstring), Claudin Cherelus (hamstring) and Jon Rhattigan (knee). Gill primarily served on special teams across 15 regular-season games for Tampa Bay in 2023 and finished with 12 tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble.
Gill (ankle) had a workout with the Dolphins on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. The Dolphins are looking to add edge rushing depth after Jaelan Phillips was placed on injured reserve Thursday due to a season-ending partial right ACL tear he sustained in Week 4 against the Titans. Gill spent this past training camp with the Panthers, but he was let go with an injury settlement Sept. 5 after injuring his ankle during Carolina's preseason finale. He appeared in 15 regular-season games with the Bucs in 2023 and finished with 12 tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble.
The Panthers cut Gill (ankle) from injured reserve Thursday with an injury settlement, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Gill landed on the Panthers' IR on Aug. 27 after sustaining an ankle injury in the preseason finale against the Bills. His placement on IR meant he was set to miss the entire 2024 season, but the injury settlement allows Gill to sign with a team once he's fully recovered from his ankle injury. He mostly operated on special teams across his 15 regular-season appearances with the Buccaneers in 2023, and he finished with a career-high 12 tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble.
The Panthers placed Gill (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official website reports. Gill injured his ankle in Carolina's final preseason game. He was not placed on the IR-designated to return list, so his season will come to an end unless both he and the Panthers can reach an injury settlement down the road. He was competing for a depth linebacker role with the Panthers.
Gill exited the Panthers' preseason game against the Bills on Saturday with an ankle injury and is questionable to return, David Newton of ESPN.com reports. The depth linebacker recorded two tackles, including a sack, before exiting. Gill signed with the Panthers in May after spending his first three seasons with the Buccaneers, where he played mostly on special teams.
The Panthers signed Gill on Monday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports. The Wagner product spent the first three seasons of his career with the Buccaneers and he will remain in the NFC South after inking a deal with the Panthers. Gill was a key special-teamer during his time in Tampa Bay, playing 768 special teams snaps (out of 952 total snaps) and recording 29 total tackles, including one tackle for loss and an additional 1.5 sacks across the last three years. He's expected to compete for another special teams role in Carolina, while also providing some extra depth to the team's pass-rushing unit.
