The Panthers placed Sims (undisclosed) on the reserve/PUP list Friday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports. Sims had previously been placed on the active/PUP list, and in moving to the reserve/PUP list, he now won't count as part of the Panthers' 90-man roster. Carolina will have until cut-down day to determine if the wideout will be activated or remain on the reserve/PUP list, in which case he'd need to sit out the first four games of the campaign. Sims had been looking to vie for a roster spot in training camp after signing with Carolina on a reserve/future contract in January.

The Panthers placed Sims (undisclosed) on the reserve/PUP list Friday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports. Sims had previously been placed on the active/PUP list, and in moving to the reserve/PUP list, he now won't count as part of the Panthers' 90-man roster. Carolina will have until cut-down day to determine if the wideout will be activated or remain on the reserve/PUP list, in which case he'd need to sit out the first four games of the campaign. Sims had been looking to vie for a roster spot in training camp after signing with Carolina on a reserve/future contract in January.
Carolina signed Thomas to a contract on Friday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports. Thomas has played in five games since entering the NFL in 2021, with four of those coming in his rookie season with the Chargers and one coming last year as a member of the Packers. The Kansas State product has yet to play a defensive snap, as he's been limited so far to work on special teams. Thomas also played in the UFL with the Houston Roughnecks this spring, accumulating 14 tackles (11 solo) and an interception that he returned for 52 yards over six games.
The Panthers signed Franks on Friday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports. Franks had a tryout with Carolina on Monday, and he impressed the organization enough to get a contract. The 26-year-old spent the previous three seasons with Atlanta, though he was on injured reserve all of last year due to an undisclosed issue. Franks is presumably now healthy, and he'll look to make a positive impression in training camp with the aim of competing for a roster spot.
Thompkins (hamstring) signed with the Panthers on Thursday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports. The Buccaneers waived Thompkins with an injury settlement in early June, and now that he's past his hamstring issue, the third-year wide receiver has decided to follow his former offensive coordinator, Dave Canales, to Carolina. Thompkins has served primarily as a return man during his time in the NFL, so he'll likely be competing with Ihmir Smith-Marsette and Raheem Blackshear for the the Panthers' top kick and punt returner spots as the offseason progresses.
Coach Dave Canales said Thursday that Tremble is managing hamstring tightness, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports. Canales said the Panthers are taking some precautionary measures with Tremble, to try and prevent worsening the state of his hamstring. At this point, there's no indication the fourth-year pro will have to miss significant time, with his next real target for return being Carolina's preseason opener against New England on August 8. Tremble is competing with rookie fourth-round pick Ja'Tavion Sanders and veteran holdover Ian Thomas for standing in the tight end pecking order.
Legette (hamstring) is practicing at the start of training camp, Joe Person of The Athletic reports. A hamstring injury limited Legette's practice participation this spring after the Panthers took him 32nd overall in the NFL Draft. He's back in action with plenty of time to secure a top-three role alongside Diontae Johnson and Adam Thielen, likely competing for perimeter snaps with 2023 second-round pick Jonathan Mingo and 2021 second-rounder Terrace Marshall. Few wide receivers can match Legette's combination of straight-line speed (4.39 40) and bulk (6-foot-1, 223 pounds), but he was a non-factor at South Carolina before exploding for 1,255 receiving yards his final season and now enters the NFL with the usual big-wideout concerns about route running and change-of-direction skills.
The Panthers activated Smith-Wade off the active/PUP list Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports. Smith-Wade was placed on the PUP list Saturday but is now healthy once again. The rookie fifth-round pick will now look to compete for a role as a reserve defensive back.
The Panthers activated Coker (undisclosed) off the active/PUP list Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports. Coker signed with Carolina as an undrafted free agent out of Holy Cross in April after leading the FCS with 15 receiving touchdowns in 2023. Coker will be ready for the start of Panthers training camp Wednesday, and he'll compete for a spot on the end of the wide receiver depth chart.
