The Carolina Panthers restocked their practice squad this morning.
Wide receiver Dax Milne and linebacker Jackson Mitchell were officially signed to the group on Wednesday. Both have previously spent time on Carolina’s practice squad this season.
Milne was selected by the Washington Commanders (or the then-Washington Football Team) in the seventh round of the 2021 NFL draft. He’d go on to serve primarily as a special teams weapon over his two seasons there, amassing a league-high 40 punt returns at an average of 7.8 yards per attempt in 2022.
Mitchell first joined the Panthers as an undrafted free agent following this year’s draft. The University of Connecticut rookie will now enter his third stint with the organization, a day after signing with the United Football League’s Memphis Showboats.
The two will fill the spots left vacant by yesterday’s promotions of wide receiver Dan Chisena and linebacker Jacoby Windmon. Chisena and Windmon were signed to the active roster on Tuesday after the Panthers placed linebackers Trevin Wallace and Claudin Cherelus on injured reserve.
