Panthers officially announce 2 more additions to practice squad

The Panthers have officially signed OT David Sharpe and RB Jashaun Corbin to their practice squad.

The Carolina Panthers are up to 15 members for their initial 2023 practice squad.

As announced by the team on Friday morning, the signings of offensive tackle David Sharpe and running Jashaun Corbin are now official. Both additions had been reported on this past Wednesday—with Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic on Sharpe and Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News on Corbin.

Sharpe, now the fourth hog molly on the Carolina practice squad, was a fourth-round pick of the then-Oakland Raiders in 2017. The University of Florida product played in five games during his rookie campaign with a pair of starts before being waived prior to the start of the 2018 season.

He went on to pick up stops with the Houston Texans, a second with the Raiders, the then-Washington Football Team and, most recently, the Baltimore Ravens. The 6-foot-6, 330-pound tackle has appeared in a total of 37 games over his five NFL seasons.

Corbin signed with the New York Giants as an undrafted free agent in 2022. He was the second-leading rusher for the Giants this summer, with 51 yards on 16 attempts.

The Panthers now have one open spot remaining on the practice squad.

Panthers announce 11 signings to initial 2023 practice squad

The Panthers signed the first 11 players to their initial 2023 practice squad.

The Carolina Panthers did plenty of work on Tuesday, making over 20 moves to get their once 90-man roster down to just 53. But, as always, their work was never done.

Next, on Wednesday, came the construction of the team’s initial practice squad. Here, as announced this afternoon, are the first 11 members of the group:

  • RB Spencer Brown
  • G Deonte Brown
  • G J.D. DiRenzo
  • G Justin McCray
  • DL Raequan Williams
  • DL Taylor Stallworth
  • OLB Eku Leota
  • OLB Jordan Thomas
  • CB Mark Milton
  • CB Stantley Thomas-Oliver III
  • S Eric Rowe

With NFL teams allowed to carry 16 players per practice squad, the Panthers will have five more spots to fill in the upcoming days. So expect, especially after the extra cuts and maneuvering throughout the league on Wednesday, some more additions soon.

As for who those additions may be, Carolina could look to bring back the trio of players they just waived in quarterback Matt Corral, wide receiver Derek Wright and linebacker Chandler Wooten.

The Baltimore Ravens are releasing offensive tackle David Sharpe ahead of the 4:00 PM roster deadline.

Sharpe, 27, was a fourth-round pick by the Raiders in 2017.

Sharpe re-signed with the Ravens last offseason on a one-year deal and has spent time between their practice squad and active roster since.

Two Ravens players return to practice on Tuesday, one leaves early

Two Ravens players returned to practice on Tuesday while one left early

The Baltimore Ravens have been hard at work preparing for the 2022 season. They’ve gone through multiple weeks of training camp practices, honing in on their skillsets while also gaining chemistry with both teammates and coaches. However, injuries have also been somewhat of a storyline for the team, as multiple players have been working through minor ailments, as well as a few season-ending injuries popping up already.

On Tuesday, Baltimore got two pieces of good news as wide receiver Bailey Gaither and offensive lineman David Sharpe returned to practice. Both players had missed a decent amount of time, but their returns give the team depth at two key positions.

While Gaither and Sharpe returned, offensive tackle Daniel Faalele ended up leaving practice with an injury around an hour into the session.

It’s currently unclear why Faalele left practice or what the severity of any injury that he could have suffered is, but it is certainly something to keep an eye on. The rookie played a massive amount of snaps in Baltimore’s Week 1 preseason win against the Tennessee Titans, playing well in the contest.

Ravens re-sign OT David Sharpe

The Baltimore Ravens re-signed offensive tackle David Sharpe

The Baltimore Ravens went through many different injuries on their offensive line in 2021, especially at the offensive tackle position. All-Pro Ronnie Stanley missed all but one game, while other players were either in and out of the lineup with injuries or not performing up to the level that the team needed them to.

Heading into the offseason, Baltimore’s depth at offensive tackle was a big conversation. They responded accordingly and added plenty at the position, singing veteran Morgan Moses and drafting rookie Daniel Faalele to go along with Stanley, JaWuan James and others. On Thursday, the team added to their depth by re-signing offensive tackle David Sharpe.

Sharpe was drafted in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL draft by the then-Oakland Raiders, and has also played for the Houston Texans and Washington before his stop in Baltimore. He appeared in three games for the Ravens in 2021.

Ravens make three roster moves ahead of Week 17 matchup vs. Rams

The Ravens made three roster moves ahead of their Week 17 game with the Rams

The Baltimore Ravens have been no stranger to making roster moves, especially over the course of the 2021 season. With injuries and COVID-19 severely impacting their season, the team has had to find contributions from elsewhere on the roster and even outside of the organization

On Saturday, the team announced three roster moves ahead of their Week 17 matchup with the Los Angeles Rams in putting rookie outside linebacker Daelin Hayes on injured reserve, signing offensive tackle David Sharpe to the 53-man roster and placing practice squad defensive back Mazzi Wilkins on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.

Hayes only played in one game for the Ravens during his first year in the NFL, but had knee and ankle injuries impact his season. Sharpe has played well for the team in spurts, and Wilkins has spent the last few weeks with Baltimore on their practice squad.

Ravens activate seven players from Reserve/COVID-19 list

The Ravens activated seven players from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday

The Baltimore Ravens have seen COVID-19 make its way through their locker room over the last few weeks. The team has had to place many players on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, causing them to miss one or multiple games.

Despite losing so many pieces for varying amounts of time, Baltimore announced some good news on Wednesday, as they activated seven total players from the Resrve/COVID-19 list in outside linebackers Justin Houston and Tyus Bowser, inside linebackers Chris Board and Kristian Welch, safety Geno Stone, practice squad quarterback Chris Streveler and practice squad offensive tackle David Sharpe.

It’s

The Ravens getting back so many players is a big deal. Houston and Bowser are two of the team’s best pass rushing options, while stone provides depth in the secondary. Board and Welch are key on special teams, while Streveler and Sharpe are important depth pieces. As the week goes on, hopefully Baltimore can get the rest of the players on the Reserve/COVID-19 list back as well.

Ravens running out of players, place five on Reserve/COVID-19 list

The Ravens continue to be hit hard by COVID, as they placed five more players on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday

The Baltimore Ravens continue to be hit hard by COVID-19 as they head into a pivotal Week 16 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals. It is now a concern as to if Baltimore will even have enough players to play on Sunday with all of the contributors they’ve lost due to injuries and the players who have been placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.

On Wednesday, the Ravens placed five new players on the Reserve/COVID-19 list in defensive lineman Justin Madubuike, inside linebackers Chris Board and Kristian Welch, safety Geno Stone and practice squad offensive tackle David Sharpe.

The five players add to a lengthy COVID-19 list for Baltimore ready as it now grows to 15. Based on the NFL’s protocols they have to opportunity to test off of the list, but it remains to be seen how many Ravens players will be able to return on time for Sunday’s massive divisional matchup.

Ravens protect four players on practice squad ahead of Week 16

The Ravens protected four players on their practice squad ahead of their Week 16 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals

The Baltimore Ravens have relied on their practice squad in a big way during the 2021 season. They have needed players to step up with so many injuries and they’ve done just that, providing quality snaps.

On Tuesday, the Ravens protected four players from their practice squad in offensive tackle David Sharpe, guard/defensive lineman Kahlil McKenzie, inside linebacker Joe Thomas and cornerback Robert Jackson. Each will be key in providing depth if called up for Baltimore’s Week 16 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals.
