Here are Tuesday’s minor moves:
Carolina Panthers
- Signed from practice squad: TE Feleipe Franks
- Released: TE Jordan Matthews
- Waived: OLB Eku Leota
Cincinnati Bengals
- Waived: DE K.J. Henry
Denver Broncos
- Removed from IR via injury settlement: DL Ronnie Perkins
Pittsburgh Steelers
- Placed on IR: LB Tyler Matakevich
A transaction mainstay since being included in the 2017 trade that brought Ronald Darby to Philadelphia from Buffalo, Matthews has since moved to tight end and been with the Panthers since 2023. Matthews later made it back to Philly and has been with five NFL teams since being a 2014 second-round pick. He started one game for the TE-depleted Panthers this season. Franks is a converted quarterback who has played in Carolina’s first two games as a gameday elevation. A 2023 Panthers UDFA, Leota logged a 2024 start and recorded a sack. But the second-year player is now on the wire.
