Panthers sign LB Tae Davis, OT David Sharpe to active roster

The Panthers have added LB Tae Davis and OT David Sharpe to their active roster.

The Carolina Panthers opened up a spot on their active roster on Tuesday, as they announced the release of starting left guard Calvin Throckmorton. They’ve also announced who will be filling that spot.

Joining the locker room will be linebacker Tae Davis. The 27-year-old defender was released by the Atlanta Falcons last week.

Davis, who played his college ball for the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, broke into the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the New York Giants in 2018. He recorded five starts over 18 games in New York between 2018 and 2019—amassing 33 combined tackles, 2.0 sacks, five quarterback hits and a forced fumble.

He’d then sign on with the Cleveland Browns after being waived in the middle of the 2019 campaign. Davis ultimately chalked up a pair of stints for Cleveland, where he notched 12 tackles over 27 contests.

The six-foot, 222-pounder played in eight games for Atlanta this season, with 174 of his 175 total snaps coming on special teams.

Carolina also promoted offensive tackle David Sharpe, who was signed to the practice squad on Monday, back to the active roster.

Indianapolis native Tae Davis transfers to Notre Dame

Add another forward to the roster.

Consistent with his goal of tapping into the state of Indiana’s talent pool, [autotag]Micah Shrewsberry[/autotag] has struck again.

Although the news was made known June 1, Notre Dame finally announced the addition of Indianapolis native and former Seton Hall forward [autotag]Tae Davis[/autotag]. This marks the fourth player with Indiana roots on the Irish’s roster, joining [autotag]J.R. Konieczny[/autotag], [autotag]Markus Burton[/autotag] and [autotag]Logan Imes[/autotag]. The program hasn’t had this many players from the Hoosier State on their roster since the 2015-16 season.

In Davis’ lone season with the Pirates, he averaged 2.8 points and 2.8 rebounds over 32 games. He started twice and achieved his season scoring high of 11 points during his first collegiate game against Monmouth. He also had 10 points and seven rebounds in a win over Division II Lincoln.

Davis becomes the 11th player on the 2023-24 roster and the fourth forward for a program that continues to be guard-heavy. Here’s hoping Shrewsberry and his staff can add one more big before the season tips off.

Look at Notre Dame’s current 2023-24 roster

Do you have confidence in this group as it stands?

There still is time for Notre Dame to add to its 2023-24 roster, but don’t count on a game-changer suddenly emerging onto campus. Barring an unforeseen circumstance, the players the Irish have now figure to make up the core. That’s not a strong vote of confidence for Irish fans, but remember that first-year coach [autotag]Micah Shrewsberry[/autotag] practically has to start from scratch after the program lost all of its rotation players to graduation and the transfer portal.

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that this is going to be a very bad season for the Irish. The few holdovers from [autotag]Mike Brey[/autotag]’s tenure have played very little. While Shrewsberry was able to bring his 2023 Penn State recruiting class and one of his Nittany Lions starters from the 2022-23 season, that’s not a lot of college basketball experience coming in. He must be in one of, if not the least envious position in the country.

Hopefully, the day will come when Shrewsberry has built the Irish back into a winner. Until then, try and get behind these players who are just there to do their jobs and play basketball:

Notre Dame basketball adds Seton Hall transfer forward

Shrewsberry gets another portal win

The rumors were true about [autotag]Notre Dame[/autotag] and Seton Hall transfer [autotag]Tae Davis[/autotag].

The 6-foot, 9-inch and 205 pound forward committed to [autotag]Micah Shrewsberry[/autotag] and the Irish on Thursday afternoon. Davis will have three seasons of eligibility remaining after averaging just over 13 minutes per game during his freshman season.

Davis scored 2.8 points and grabbed 2.8 rebounds during his lone season with the Pirates and will now return to his home state to continue his basketball career.

This is the third transfer that Shrewsberry has landed since being hired at the end of March. [autotag]Julian Roper[/autotag] and [autotag]Kebba Njie[/autotag] were the other two.

Falcons sign LB Tae Davis to one-year deal

The #Falcons are signing LB Tae Davis to a one-year deal, according to a report

The Atlanta Falcons are signing free-agent linebacker Tae Davis to a one-year deal, according to report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Davis, 26, spent last season with the Cleveland Browns where he recorded five tackles while appearing in five games.

Davis adds some depth at the linebacker position. Many thought the team would bring back linebacker Rashaan Evans after a solid 2022 campaign, but Evans is still waiting for a contract.

Davis began his career with the New York Giants in 2018 as an undrafted free agent. As a rookie, Davis racked up 33 tackles, four QB hits and two sacks while starting four games for New York.

Browns make handful of moves on the eve of their matchup with Commanders

The Browns have made a handful of roster moves.

The Cleveland Browns lost on Christmas Eve to the New Orleans Saints, but are hoping their holiday luck turns around on New Year’s Day against the Washington Commanders. On paper, the Browns seem to have an advantage, but that has not gone in their favor much this season. Can the Browns find a way to stack two wins to end the season?

On the Eve of their matchup, however, the Browns have made three roster moves before they take the field in the nation’s capital. Here are the three moves the Browns have made as they prepare to take on the Commanders in D.C. on New Year’s Day.

Browns make 3 roster moves on the eve of their Christmas Eve showdown vs. Saints

The Browns have made three moves on the eve of their Christmas Eve matchup against the Saints.

As the Cleveland Browns get set to take on the New Orleans Saints tomorrow, they have made three roster moves in advance. They have already ruled out defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, and safety John Johnson III is questionable. However, Nick Chubb, Amari Cooper, and Myles Garrett will be good to go after they were not given gameday injury designation. The Saints will be without wide receivers Jarvis Landry and Chris Olave as well.

What moves did the Browns make today as they get set to seek out their fourth win in five games? We take a look at all three of those moves here.

Browns elevate WR Daylen Baldwin, LB Tae Davis from practice squad vs. Ravens

The Browns have elevated two from the practice squad for their bout against the Ravens.

As the Cleveland Browns look to get back in the win column against the Tyler Huntley-led Baltimore Ravens tomorrow, they have elevated two members of the practice squad for this one. Both wide receiver Daylen Baldwin and linebacker Tae Davis will get a chance to sport the white facemasks and make an impact on the field.

With four linebackers already on Injured Reserve, Davis may even find himself on the field on defense. With four weeks to go in the 2022 season, can the Browns finish strong and build some rapport and momentum to have something to feel good about heading into the offseason?

Browns elevating 2 from practice squad for divisional matchup vs. Bengals

The Browns are elevating two defensive players for their bout with the Bengals.

Just as they do every week, the Cleveland Browns are elevating two players from the practice squad for their AFC North divisional matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Joining the active roster tomorrow are linebacker Tae Davis, who just rejoined the team after spending two years in Cleveland, and safety Mike Brown.

This will be the third time Brown has been elevated from the practice squad, meaning the Browns can no long elevate him over the last five weeks of the season. Brown has been a staple on special teams, racking up 37 snaps total on kick return, kickoff coverage, punt return, and punt coverage.
