Summary

The Carolina Panthers promoted outside linebacker Jeremiah Moon and safety Isaiah Simmons from the practice squad on Saturday. Both players are available for the team's regular-season opener against the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Moon re-signed with the Panthers on Thursday after being released during the final roster cutdown two weeks ago. He appeared in one game for the club in 2025. Simmons, a former first-round pick, saw action in five games last season, primarily on special teams. He previously contributed a blocked punt during the team's wild-card playoff appearance against the Los Angeles Rams in January.
