According to Adam Schefter, the Panthers are re-signing TE Colin Thompson to the 53-man roster.
Carolina had cut Thompson to explore some of the other options at tight end but it appears they’ve decided the best decision is to bring him back.
To clear space on the roster, the team announced it’s placing WR Keith Kirkwood on injured reserve.
Thompson, 26, was signed by the Giants as an undrafted free agent out of Temple in 2017. The Giants waived him with a non-football injury in August and he caught on later in the year with the Bears practice squad.
Chicago signed Thompson to a futures deal for the 2018 season, however, he was waived coming out of the preseason. Thompson was last with the Tampa Bay Vipers of the now-defunct XFL.
Thompson signed a one-year deal with the Panthers this offseason.
Thompson caught one pass for 13 yards in five games with the Vipers in 2020.
