The Panthers waived Peevy on Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports. Peevy played in the first four games of the regular season and accrued six tackles (two solo), including 1.5 sacks, one pass defended and one forced fumble over that span. However, he was a healthy scratch for Week 5 upon Shy Tuttle's return, and with Jaden Crumedy (ankle) on the verge of returning from injured reserve, there doesn't appear to be enough room Peevy to stick around. Peevy should get some interest on the waiver wire, but if he goes unclaimed, he'll look to join a team in need of depth in the interior defensive line.

The Panthers waived Peevy on Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports. Peevy played in the first four games of the regular season and accrued six tackles (two solo), including 1.5 sacks, one pass defended and one forced fumble over that span. However, he was a healthy scratch for Week 5 upon Shy Tuttle's return, and with Jaden Crumedy (ankle) on the verge of returning from injured reserve, there doesn't appear to be enough room Peevy to stick around. Peevy should get some interest on the waiver wire, but if he goes unclaimed, he'll look to join a team in need of depth in the interior defensive line.
Peevy (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Bears. Peevy has played in all four games for the Panthers this season but will be a healthy scratch in Week 5. The return of Shy Tuttle (foot) after a two-week absence likely played a role in the decision.
The Panthers signed Peevy to the active roster Saturday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports. Peevy appeared in two regular-season games for the Titans across the last two years, playing 28 defensive snaps without accruing a tackle over that span. His addition provides depth on the Panthers' defensive line due to Jaden Crumedy (ankle) being set to miss at least the first four games of the regular season while on IR.
