In a related move: The #Panthers hosted defensive back Jack Jones for a visit today, according to the NFL transaction wire. He was a 2022 fourth-round pick and was released by the 49ers after their Week 7 loss to the Falcons. He'd been active every game before then.
Alex Zietlow (@alexzietlow05) profile pictureAlex Zietlow@alexzietlow053h
The #Panthers waived CB Robert Rochell from the practice squad. He'd already played in three games this season as standard elevations; if he were to be active on game day again, he'd need to be on the 53-man roster. Should be noted: Had a history working with EJ Evero in LA.

Asked former Carolina Panthers DL Brentson Buckner (@faithbeforefame) his thoughts on the team firing defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero and whether or not the team needs to punt on the 3-4 scheme Evero used.

Panthers' coach Dave Canales said firing DC Ejiro Evero did not stem from one issue, or from the performance of the defense from Thursday night’s 27-19 loss at Green Bay. More here ➡️ tinyurl.com/2rdb6kad
