The Panthers have brought in another kicker to replace Lirim Hajrullahu, who was waived last week.
Darin Gantt says they’ve signed former Oklahoma State kicker Matt Ammendola, who will compete this offseason with Joey Slye.

In college, Ammendola connected on 60 of 78 field goal attempts (76.9%) and 179 of 183 extra points (97.8%).
Like most players at his position, Ammendola went undrafted last year. Since then he’s been working with former NFL kicker Nick Novak.
