The Carolina Panthers announced Monday that they’ve released S Marquise Blair and QB Jacob Eason from their practice squad.
Here’s the Panthers updated practice squad:
- CB Madre Harper
- C Sam Tecklenburg
- TE Colin Thompson
- OL Deonte Brown
- WR Derek Wright
- WR C.J. Saunders
- WR Preston Williams
- DB Kenny Robinson
- RB Spencer Brown
- DE Delontae Scott
- DT Raequan Williams
- DT Phil Hoskins
- LB Joel Iyiegbuniwe
- RB Nate McCrary
The Panthers activated Sam Darnold from injured reserve earlier in the day so it’s not all that surprising for them to move on from their No. 4 quarterback.
Eason, 24, was selected in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL draft by the Colts. He was waived last year and later claimed off of waivers by the Seahawks.
Eason was in the third year of his four-year, $4,027,264 contract that included a $732,264 signing bonus when the Seahawks waived him. From there, he signed on with the Panthers and was added to their practice squad at the start of the regular season.
During his college career at Georgia and Washington, Eason threw for 5,590 yards while completing 59.8 percent of his passes to go along with 39 touchdowns and 16 interceptions over the course of three seasons and 29 games.
