Panthers sign 3 players to practice squad

The Carolina Panthers brought back a trio of familiar faces on Thursday.

As announced this morning, the team has signed three players to their practice squad—running back Mike Boone, defensive lineman Jayden Peevy and safety Russ Yeast. All three were taken off the active roster as part of a busy Tuesday afternoon, when the Panthers signed offensive lineman Cade Mays and Thomas Incoom to the group.

Boone was Carolina’s second-leading rusher of the preseason, where he amassed 76 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries. He has appeared in two games during the regular season, with all four of his attempts and each of his seven rushing yards having come in the Week 1 loss to the New Orleans Saints.

Peevy has also seen some action over the past five weeks. The 6-foot-5, 308-pounder has played in four games—amassing six combined tackles, 1.5 sack, a forced fumble and a pass defensed.

To help make room for the returns, the Panthers released tight end Stephen Sullivan from the practice squad.
