Swinson signed with the Packers' practice squad Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports. Swinson spent training camp with Green Bay and was on their practice squad before being signed away to the Panthers' active roster ahead of Week 1. However, the Arizona State product never suited up for Carolina and was waived by the team Tuesday. He'll now get another chance with the Packers.
Swinson was waived by the Panthers on Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports. Swinson was signed off the Packers' practice squad ahead of Week 1 but was a weekly healthy scratch thereafter. He'll now have to find a new opportunity, possibly on Carolina's practice squad, assuming he clears waivers.
Swinson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports. Swinson is a healthy inactive for a second straight week, and his next chance to suit up will be Week 3 against Las Vegas. The Panthers elevated tight end Feleipe Franks from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, and he will be the fourth tight end behind for Sunday's contest behind Tommy Tremble, Ja'Tavion Sanders and Jordan Matthews.
Swinson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game at New Orleans, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports. Swinson was just signed off the Packers' practice squad less than a week ago, so it's not surprising that he won't be playing in Week 1 for Carolina. Rookie Ja'Tavion Sanders figures to lead the Panthers in snaps at tight end Sunday with Tommy Tremble (hamstring/back) also out.
The Panthers signed Swinson off Green Bay's practice squad Tuesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports. The 24-year-old tight end joined the Packers' practice squad after failing to make the team's initial 53-man roster, but he's now found a new home in Carolina. Swinson adds depth to a Carolina tight end room that's banged up heading into the Panthers' Week 1 contest against the Saints, as both Ian Thomas (calf) and Tommy Tremble (hamstring) are dealing with injuries.
The Packers signed Swinson to their practice squad Wednesday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports. Swinson failed to record a reception on 28 offensive snaps this preseason, but he's landed with Green Bay's practice squad after missing the team's initial 53-man roster Tuesday. The Arizona State product's most productive collegiate season came in 2022, when he recorded 15 receptions for 185 yards and two touchdowns.
The Packers waived Swinson on Tuesday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports. Undrafted out of Arizona State back in April, Swinson failed to make an impression on the field this preseason, finishing with zero catches on 28 offensive snaps.
