Panthers Release Jordan Matthews

Thursday, May 8, 1:02 PM

The Carolina Panthers released tight end Jordan Matthews on Thursday, league sources tell The Charlotte Observer's Mike Kaye. The former wide receiver will now hit the open market after re-signing with the team in early January on a Reserve/Futures deal. The 32-year-old former second-round pick (42nd overall) by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2014 out of Vanderbilt ended up with just one target in four games played (one start) in his two seasons with Carolina the last two years. Since transitioning to a tight end, Matthews hasn't made an impact at the NFL level since leaving the Eagles with the San Francisco 49ers and Panthers. In his 10 NFL seasons, Matthews has recorded 274 catches on 423 targets for 3,288 yards and 22 touchdowns, with pretty much all of that production coming from 2014-18.

Xavier Legette News

Xavier Legette Leaves Game in Boot

Friday, August 21, 7:24 PM

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette (ankle) twisted his ankle during their Week 2 preseason victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars and left the game wearing a boot. Head coach Dave Canales said Legette injured his ankle, is experiencing foot soreness, and is listed as day-to-day. The former 32nd overall pick is expected to handle the WR3 workload in Carolina, behind Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker, who will rotate ahead of him. If Legette misses time with this ankle injury, wide receivers John Metchie and Jimmy Horn Jr. would take on a larger workload in his place. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should keep an eye on this, since all the Panthers' receivers could be affected if he is out.
