Reed signed a reserve/future contract with the Panthers on Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports. Reed spent his rookie 2025 season on Carolina's practice squad. The wide receiver out of San Diego has yet to make his NFL regular-season debut.
The Panthers signed Reed to their practice squad Thursday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports. Reed was cut Tuesday after he failed to earn a spot on Carolina's final 53-man roster for 2025, but he'll now be staying with the team as a member of the practice squad. The Panthers have one of the thinner groups of wide receivers in the NFL, so Reed could be closer to an elevation than the average practice-squad wideout.
The Panthers waived Reed on Tuesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports. Undrafted out of San Diego, Reed played 26 offensive snaps this preseason and caught just one pass for six yards. He'll try to latch on with a practice squad once he clears waivers.
