Inks deal with Carolina

The Panthers signed Jennings on Tuesday, Jeff Hawkins of The Charlotte Post reports.

Analysis: A fourth-round pick by the Seahawks back in 2019, Jennings appeared in one game as a rookie, with the Dolphins. He spent this spring with the XFL's St. Louis BattleHawks, where he caught 11 passes for 149 yards and three touchdowns. Jennings will compete for one of Carolina's final roster spots.

Given tryout by Carolina

The Panthers invited Jennings (concussion) for a tryout Monday, Schuyler Callihan of SI.com reports.

Analysis: Jennings was waived from the Chiefs' injured reserve with a concussion last August and, after going unclaimed off waivers, he went unsigned throughout the entire 2022 campaign. The 26-year-old wideout has not recorded a reception since his 2019 rookie season with the Dolphins, so he'll likely need to make a strong impression with a team this offseason in order to land a contract ahead of the 2023 regular season.

Out Saturday

Jennings (concussion) is not playing against the Bears Saturday, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

Analysis: Jennings wasn't able to get cleared from the concussion he suffered last week, and his chances to impress coaches and make the roster are dwindling as the preseason rolls on. Jennings has yet to make much of an impact in the NFL since being selected in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Seahawks, and has been relegated to the practice squad on multiple NFL teams with only a single game of NFL action to his credit.

Dealing with concussion

Jennings (concussion) was not spotted during Saturday's practice session, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

Analysis: After signing with Kansas City in May, Jennings is fighting for a roster spot among receivers Daurice Fountain, Cornell Powell, Corey Coleman and Omar Bayless. The former fourth-round pick hasn't lived up to expectations through his first four seasons, as he's now playing for his seventh NFL team. There's no timetable for a return yet, but Jennings will likely sit out at least one week before taking the field again.
