Panthers release OL Ilm Manning with injury settlement

The Panthers have parted ways with OL Ilm Manning.

The Carolina Panthers have officially released offensive lineman Ilm Manning from injured reserve with a settlement on Wednesday.

A Glendale, Ariz. native, Manning was a standout athlete during his time at Apollo High School. In addition to being a two-way player for the football team’s offensive and defensive lines, he was also a member of the basketball and track and field squads.

Manning moved on to play his college ball at the University of Hawaii starting in 2018. In his fifth and final year in Honolulu, Manning earned First-team All-MW honors for his work at the left tackle spot.

The 6-foot-2, 294-pounder then cracked into the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the San Francisco 49ers in 2023. He’d then be plucked off the Niners’ practice squad by the Panthers in late December.

Wednesday’s departure marks the second release of Manning by Carolina this offseason, who initially cut ties with the 24-year-old back on May 10.

Panthers waive RB Spencer Brown off injured reserve

The Panthers have reached an injury settlement with RB Spencer Brown.

The Carolina Panthers have severed ties with running back Spencer Brown.

Per the league transaction wire, the team and the 25-year-old rusher have reached an injury settlement as of Wednesday. Brown, in turn, has been waived off injured reserve—where he landed alongside offensive lineman Ilm Manning and Raequan Williams earlier in the week.

A Warrior, Ala. native, Brown attended the University of Alabama at Birmingham from 2017 to 2020. Over his four seasons there, he ran for 4,011 yards and 41 touchdowns on 858 carries (4.7 yards per attempt).

Brown then signed on with the Panthers as an undrafted free agent in 2021. He has appeared six games, all between the 2021 and 2022 seasons—where he amassed 43 rushing yards on nine attempts.

With the departure of Brown, Carolina now carries seven running backs on their current 89-man roster. Those players are as follows:

  • Raheem Blackshear
  • Mike Boone
  • Jonathon Brooks
  • Chuba Hubbard
  • Rashaad Penny
  • Miles Sanders
  • Jalen Shirden
