Panthers updated 17-man practice squad entering Week 1

The Panthers added some interesting faces to their practice squad over the past few days.

Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales is bringing in a familiar face, at least to him.

As first reported by Joe Person of The Athletic this past Friday, the Panthers signed quarterback John Wolford to their practice squad. The 28-year-old veteran was a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this past season, when Canales served as the team’s offensive coordinator during their NFC South championship campaign.

Wolford spent four years with the Los Angeles Rams as well, crossing paths with a few current Carolina coaches including defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero.

The Panthers also officially added wide receiver Deon Cain, offensive lineman Brandon Walton and former track star Praise Olatoke—who will account as the 17th member of the group by way of the NFL’s International Player Pathway Program.

So, let’s give you an updated look at the team’s practice squad . . .
