Jordan Matthews Joins Panthers Practice Squad

Veteran wide receiver/tight end Jordan Matthews signed with the Carolina Panthers as a member of the practice squad on Wednesday. The 31-year-old last played for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2019, catching four passes for 33 yards in two games. Matthews once posted a 997-yard season, but that was in 2015. In 2023, there's little to no chance he becomes fantasy-relevant, and it's probably a long shot for him to even join the active roster this season. The Vanderbilt alum can be ignored for fantasy football until further notice.
