Panthers HC Dave Canales speaks on recently-released player providing intel to Cardinals for Week 16 matchup

Dave Canales on the Cardinals rostering recently-waived Panthers S Jammie Robinson in Week 16: “It’s an advantage for them.”

The Carolina Panthers may have provided the Arizona Cardinals with a not-so-secret weapon ahead of their Week 16 showdown.

On Friday, the Panthers waived safety Jammie Robinson—a fifth-round pick back from the 2023 draft. Then, on Monday, the second-year defender was successfully claimed off waivers by the Cardinals—Carolina’s opponent for this weekend.

Perhaps Arizona needed some help at the back of the defense, but Robinson’s addition probably isn’t a coincidence. The 23-year-old, who has spent nearly two seasons under Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, will likely be squeezed for some inside information on his now-former unit.

Head coach Dave Canales was asked if his defense will have to change up their methods of communication to counter any damaging intel.

“We’re not gonna change what we do. The communication happens so fast,” Canales replied. “But it’s an advantage for them. They got a player that’s been with us, who was into what we were doing, worked hard, poured his heart and soul into it.

“So, that’s something that we’re aware of. But again, we just have to make sure that we operate quickly to minimize their opportunity to see some of those things.”

Robinson appeared in 21 games for the Panthers over the last two seasons. 75 of his 441 career snaps (17.0 percent) have come on defense.

Cardinals claim player recently cut by Panthers

The Cardinals land safety Jammie Robinson, fiving them five safeties on the roster.

The Arizona Cardinals added a safety to the active roster. The team announced it was awarded safety Jammie Robinson on a waiver claim.

Robinson was waived by the Carolina Panthers on Friday. He was drafted by the Panthers in the fifth round in 2023 out of Florida State.

The 5-foot-11, 195-pound safety had played on only six games for the Panthers this season, logging 11 defensive snaps and 97 on special teams. He had three total tackles.

In 2023 as a rookie, he played in 15 games, logging 269 snaps on special teams and 64 on defense. He had 17 total tackles, six on special teams.

The Cardinals play the Panthers on Sunday. His addition fills one of the two roster vacancies created when punter Blake Gillikin and running back Emari Demercado were placed on injured reserve.

Robinson has two years remaining on his rookie contract after this season, should he still be on the roster when the season ends.

The Cardinals now have five safeties on the roster. Robinson joins Budda Baker, Jalen Thompson, Rabbit Taylor-Demerson and Joey Blount.

Panthers 2023 draft pick claimed off waivers by Cardinals

Former Panthers safety and 2023 draft pick Jammie Robinson has been claimed by the team’s Week 16 opponent.

The Arizona Cardinals just got themselves a new defensive back, and perhaps a little intel, for Week 16.

As first reported by ESPN’s Field Yates late this afternoon, the Cards have claimed former Carolina Panthers safety Jammie Robinson off waivers. The second-year defender was waived by Carolina, Arizona’s upcoming opponent, back on Friday.

Robinson, who split his collegiate career between the University of South Carolina (2019 to 2020) and Florida State University (2021 to 2022), was selected by the Panthers in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL draft. He’d go on to appear in 15 games, with a pair of starts, in his rookie campaign—amassing 17 combined tackles while playing primarily on special teams.

This season was similar for Robinson, who has played 97 of his 108 snaps as a special teamer. He totaled three tackles over six games.

After wide receiver Jonathan Mingo, who was traded to the Dallas Cowboys on Nov. 5, Robinson became the second 2023 pick the Panthers have parted ways with here in 2024.

Mingo returned to Charlotte yesterday. He was targeted zero times in the Cowboys’ 30-14 win.

Panthers part ways with another 2023 draft pick

The Panthers have cut ties with another one of last year’s draft picks.

The Carolina Panthers have parted ways with another one of last year’s draft picks.

As announced by the team on Friday afternoon, second-year safety Jammie Robinson has been waived. Robinson was selected by the Panthers in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL draft.

Robinson played in 15 games with a pair of starts during his rookie campaign. Those outings saw him record 17 combined tackles, with 269 of his 333 total snaps (70.1 percent) coming on special teams.

2024 has been similar for Robinson in terms of his deployment. He’s appeared in just six games and has chalked up 97 of his 108 snaps as a special teamer.

The 23-year-old defender is now the second draft 2023 choice the Panthers have cut ties with this season, as second-round wide receiver Jonathan Mingo was traded to the Dallas Cowboys on Nov. 5.

Taking Robinson’s spot on the 53-man roster will be fellow safety Nick Scott, who has now been activated from injured reserve. Scott has started in four of his seven games for Carolina this year.

Panthers Week 14 inactives: TE Ja’Tavion Sanders active vs. Eagles

The Panthers are expecting to see the return of rookie TE Ja’Tavion Sanders, the team’s third-leading receiver in 2024.

The Carolina Panthers may not have one of their very top defenders at their disposal here in Week 14, but at least they’re getting back one of their top pass catchers.

As expected, tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders is active and is expected to make his return for today’s matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. The rookie was carted off from Week 12’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs after sustaining a scary neck injury and did not play the next week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Sanders is the third-leading receiver for the Panthers this season, behind only fellow rookie Xavier Legette and the departed Diontae Johnson—who was traded to the Baltimore Ravens on Oct. 29. The 2024 fourth-round selection has reeled in 29 receptions for 302 yards and a touchdown.

Carolina will not, however, have outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney—the team leader in sacks (3.5) and pressures (30). The three-time Pro Bowler, who was listed as questionable for the contest on Friday, was downgraded to out on Saturday due to a knee injury.

Here is the full list of inactives on the afternoon for the Panthers:

  • CB Shemar Bartholomew
  • OLB Jadeveon Clowney
  • WR Jalen Coker
  • CB Akayleb Evans
  • CB Caleb Farley
  • OL Jarrett Kingston
  • S Jammie Robinson
  • S Nick Scott

And for the host Eagles:

  • S Reed Blankenship
  • S Sydney Brown
  • WR Britain Covey
  • OL Nick Gates
  • G Trevor Keegan
  • OT Darian Kinnard
  • QB Tanner McKee (Emergency QB)

Panthers Week 13 inactives: 7 players out vs. Buccaneers

A pair of standout rookie pass catchers headline today’s inactives for the Panthers.

The Carolina Panthers will have their best pass rusher for this afternoon’s NFC South showdown.

Despite missing a pair of practices leading into today’s Week 13 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney is active for the contest. The three-time Pro Bowler, who is dealing with a knee injury, returned to practice in a limited capacity on Friday and was listed as questionable going into the weekend.

Clowney has recorded 2.5 sacks and a team-leading 27 pressures over nine games.

He will not be joined, as expected, by rookie pass catchers Jalen Coker and tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders. Coker will now miss his second straight game due to a quadriceps injury while Sanders, who was carted off from last Sunday’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, is out with a neck injury.

Wide receiver Dan Chisena and tight end Stephen Sullivan were elevated from the practice squad on Saturday to provide depth for the absences.

Here’s the full list of inactives for the Panthers:

  • CB Shemar Bartholomew
  • WR Jalen Coker
  • DL Jaden Crumedy
  • CB Akayleb Evans
  • OL Jarrett Kingston
  • S Jammie Robinson
  • TE Ja’Tavion Sanders

And for the Buccaneers:

  • DL Earnest Brown IV
  • TE Devin Culp
  • CB Tyrek Funderburk
  • QB Michael Pratt
  • OLB Joe Tryon-Shoyinka
  • CB Tykee Smith

Panthers Week 12 inactives: WR Jalen Coker out vs. Chiefs

The Panthers won’t have one of their standout rookie receivers for today’s matchup against the Chiefs.

The Carolina Panthers won’t have one of their standout rookies for this afternoon’s battle with the Kansas City Chiefs.

As announced by the team about an hour and a half before today’s kickoff, wide receiver Jalen Coker will not be active against the defending Super Bowl champions. The 23-year-old did not participate in Friday’s practice due to a quadriceps injury and was listed as questionable coming into the weekend.

Coker, an undrafted free-agent signee from this past spring, has recorded 17 catches for 263 yards and a touchdown over seven career games. His 263 receiving yards are currently the 11th-most by any rookie this season.

Luckily for the Panthers, they will be getting back fellow wideout Adam Thielen—who is set to return after missing seven games with a hamstring injury. The 11th-year veteran led Carolina in targets (137), receptions (103) and receiving yards (1,014) in 2023.

Here’s the full list of inactives for the Panthers in Week 12:

  • CB Shemar Bartholomew
  • WR Jalen Coker
  • DL Jaden Crumedy
  • OLB Thomas Incoom
  • OLB DJ Johnson
  • OL Jarrett Kingston
  • S Jammie Robinson

And for the visiting Chiefs . . .

  • OT Ethan Driskell
  • RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire
  • OL C.J. Hanson
  • DE Cameron Thomas
  • DT Marlon Tuipulotu

Panthers Week 10 inactives: 3 starters out vs. Giants

A few surprises were included on the Panthers’ list of Week 10 inactives.

The Carolina Panthers’ list of inactives for their Week 10 outing included a couple of surprises.

Tight end Tommy Tremble and outside linebacker Charles Harris are among the seven players who will not suit up for this morning’s matchup against the New York Giants. Tremble was listed as questionable for the contest after a full practice on Friday while Harris, the team leader in sacks (3.0), was not included on the injury report at all.

His absence will likely give way to fellow pass rusher D.J. Wonnum, who is set to make his Panthers debut out of Munich, Germany. Wonnum has been sidelined all season due to complications from a torn quad.

Here’s the full list of inactives for the Panthers:

  • CB Shemar Bartholomew
  • RB Jonathon Brooks
  • DL Jaden Crumedy
  • OT Ikem Ekwonu
  • OLB Charles Harris
  • S Jammie Robinson
  • TE Tommy Tremble

And for the Giants:

  • QB Tommy DeVito (Emergency QB)
  • WR Bryce Ford-Wheaton
  • G Jake Kubas
  • ILB Darius Muasau
  • S Jason Pinnock
  • DL Jordon Riley
  • WR Darius Slayton

Panthers Week 8 inactives: 7 players ruled out vs. Broncos

The Panthers will be without a few key offensive weapons in Denver this afternoon.

If Bryce Young wants to make a statement in the Mile High City this afternoon, he’ll have to do it without the help of a few key weapons.

The Carolina Panthers have ruled seven players as inactive for their Week 8 matchup against the Denver Broncos, including wideout Diontae Johnson. Johnson will miss his first game of the campaign due to a rib injury.

With the Panthers at 1-6 and the trade deadline just a little over a week away, Johnson’s absence has raised some speculation about a possible deal. Head coach Dave Canales was asked on Friday if the decision to hold Johnson out relates to preserving a move of the one-time Pro Bowler.

“Those are all conversations that Dan [Morgan] and Brandt [Tilis] will handle,” Canales replied. “For me, it’s like, I wanna do the best thing for Diontae, the best thing for the offense and the continuity of what we’re trying to get done. And the fact that he couldn’t get back on the field this week, I felt confident about the guys being able to step in there and do it.”

The Panthers will also be without last year’s leading receiving Adam Thielen, who is still on his way back from a hamstring strain. Thielen was designated to return to practice on Wednesday, but has yet to be activated to the main roster.

Here is the full list of inactives on the day for Carolina:

  • CB Shemar Bartholomew
  • RB Jonathon Brooks
  • QB Andy Dalton
  • CB Dane Jackson
  • WR Diontae Johnson
  • OT Yosh Nijman
  • S Jammie Robinson

And for Denver:

  • CB Kris Abrams-Draine
  • TE Greg Dulcich
  • S P.J. Locke
  • OT Alex Palczewski
  • OLB Dondrea Tillman
  • DL Eyioma Uwazurike
  • QB Zach Wilson

Panthers Week 1 inactives: 7 players deactivated for opener vs. Saints

The Panthers named seven inactives for their regular-season opener in New Orleans.

The Carolina Panthers have listed seven inactives ahead of this afternoon’s regular-season opener against the New Orleans Saints.

Those players are as follows:

  • CB Shemar Bartholomew
  • G Jarrett Kingston
  • DL LaBryan Ray
  • C Andrew Raym
  • S Jammie Robinson
  • TE Messiah Swinson
  • TE Tommy Tremble

With Tremble down due to a hamstring injury and Ian Thomas now on injured reserve with a lingering calf issue, the Panthers are expected to start rookie tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders in what will be his first official NFL game. The fourth-round pick earned rave reviews from head coach Dave Canales earlier this summer.

“So JT is taking those steps that we’re looking for,” Canales said of the 21y-year-old during training camp. “Made a big play at Fan Fest to end it, to end the scrimmage on a corner. Had a couple nice plays today, nice catches. He’s doin’ it. He’s making the most of his opportunity. It’s pushed him right up with that first group, to be able to show the guys you can count on him and he’s been really dependable with that.”

Sanders will be backed by veteran Jordan Matthews and Feleipe Franks, who was signed to the active roster on Saturday.
