Panthers release Jewell amid concussion recovery
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Carolina Panthers on Tuesday released starting inside linebacker Josey Jewell, who has been in the concussion protocol since suffering a head injury in a Week 15 overtime win against the Arizona Cardinals last season.
Jewell, 30, signed a three-year, $22.75 million contract with Carolina in March of 2024.
Carolina has not ruled out Jewell returning at some point if he recovers fully from the concussion, according to a team spokesperson.
The spokesperson added Jewell wants to focus on his health and recovery "out of consideration for his teammates.''
Jewell was a fourth-round pick by the Denver Broncos in 2018 and remained with the organization until last season, when he had 97 tackles for Carolina despite missing the final two games.
