Panthers sign Tyrel Dodson to active roster following defensive struggles

Summary

The Carolina Panthers signed linebacker Tyrel Dodson to their active roster on September 14, 2026. This move comes after a poor defensive showing against the Chicago Bears, who scored 59 points on the Panthers. Dodson, who previously played for the Miami Dolphins, will not join the practice squad but will immediately be part of the 53-man roster. In the game, Bears quarterback Caleb Williams threw for four touchdowns, while two Chicago running backs reached over 100 rushing yards.
