Former Michigan State football linebacker signs with the Carolina Panthers

The Panthers signed a former Spartan linebacker off the Steelers’ practice squad

Back in April, former Michigan State football linebacker Jacoby Windmon signed a contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers to join their practice squad as an undrafted free agent. Windmon was waived by the Steelers, but then re-signed a few weeks ago. This week, the Carolina Panthers plucked Windmon off of the Steelers’ practice squad to join their 53-man active roster.

This is a great opportunity for Windmon to join a Panthers team that is struggling with injuries and production. They will be looking to find a spark and Windmon might be able to earn some snaps with his vaunted pass rush skills from the linebacker position.
