Per Mike Garafolo and Tom Pelissero, the Panthers are bringing back cornerbacks Robert Rochell and Akayleb Evans.
Rochell, 27, is a former fourth-round pick by the Rams in the 2021 NFL Draft out of Central Arkansas.
He was entering the third year of a four-year, $4,170,926 rookie contract when he was among Los Angeles’ final roster cuts coming out of the preseason.
Rochell later signed on with the Seahawks’ practice squad but was cut loose after a few weeks and eventually caught on with the Panthers. The Packers signed Rochell off the Panthers’ practice squad and brought him back for the 2024 season before signing him to the practice squad.
He joined the Chiefs on a one-year contract this past March but was let go and joined the Cowboys’ practice squad, making two appearances for Dallas before being signed away by the Panthers for another stint with the team.
In 2025, Rochell appeared in four games for Carolina and two for Dallas, and recorded four total tackles.
