Panthers Place WR Brazzell on IR, Sign TE Metayer

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Chris Brazzell's season is officially over after being placed on injured reserve due to a knee injury suffered at practice. The third-round pick from Tennessee, who was a first-team All-SEC selection last year, will undergo surgery to repair his lateral collateral ligament and will spend the year rehabbing to prepare for the 2027 season. chickenroadslot.lat

With the open roster spot, the Panthers have signed tight end Chamon Metayer, who originally signed with the Steelers as an undrafted rookie in April but was cut by Pittsburgh in June. Metayer will now have an opportunity to contribute to the Panthers' offense this season.
