Panthers Re-Sign Moon: A Familiar Face Returns
9 Sep
Summary
- Carolina Panthers are bringing back linebacker Jeremiah Moon to their practice squad.
- The move comes after the loss of linebacker Nic Scourton to a torn ACL.
- Moon provides experienced, familiar depth to the defense, already knowing the system.
The Carolina Panthers are re-signing outside linebacker Jeremiah Moon to their practice squad as the 2026 regular season approaches. This decision marks a swift return for Moon, who was released on August 30 as part of roster cutdowns.
The Panthers needed to add depth at outside linebacker following the season-ending torn ACL injury sustained by Nic Scourton on the opening day of training camp. Scourton was a key contributor in 2025, tying for the team lead with 5.0 sacks.
Moon offers the Panthers experienced, familiar insurance at the position. He has played in 24 NFL games with two starts across stints with the Baltimore Ravens, Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Panthers. His prior experience with Carolina, where he first signed in October 2025, makes him a valuable asset without requiring immediate integration into the active roster.
The team must make a corresponding transaction to accommodate Moon, as their practice squad is currently full. Carolina opens its season on September 13 against the Chicago Bears, and Moon's return provides an experienced edge defender within reach.
