Panthers announce change at LB in roster move on Sunday
As announced on Sunday afternoon, the Panthers have signed veteran linebacker Krys Barnes.
A Bakersfield, Calif. native, Barnes attended UCLA from 2016 to 2019. There, he amassed 212 combined tackles (21 for a loss), 5.0 sacks and four interceptions over four years.
Barnes then cracked into the NFL as an undrafted free-agent signee of the Green Bay Packers. He'd go on to post 161 tackles between his first two pro campaigns, starting in 23 of his 29 games for Green Bay.
The 6-foot-2, 229-pounder has played his last two seasons with the Arizona Cardinals. 304 of his 509 total snaps in 2024 came on special teams.
To make room for Barnes, the Panthers waived rookie linebacker Tuasivi Nomura. Nomura signed with Carolina as an undrafted free agent this past spring.

Browns QB Shedeur Sanders Receives New Major Injury Update
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Fresh off an impressive 138-yard, two-touchdown performance in the Cleveland Browns' 30-10 win over the Carolina Panthers last weekend in their preseason opener, fans were likely excited to see what rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders planned to do for an encore in the second week of the preseason. But as the team has been preparing to play the Philadelphia Eagles Saturday at Lincoln Financial Field, Sanders suffered a small injury setback on Wednesday after it was announced he was expected to miss some time with an oblique injury he suffered in joint practices against the Eagles. "If it's a right guard, you can play through that," Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said, via ESPN. "When it's a quarterback, you kind of need that muscle to throw. So, unfortunately, going to put him down for a little bit here. We'll treat it day-to-day and see how it responds. But [we] want to be smart because he's a thrower — you can't push that thing."

"Shedeur Sanders will not play (Saturday) against the Eagles because of that oblique injury that knocked him out of practice on Wednesday," Pelissero reported. "However, I am told there is cautious optimism that Sanders could return to practice next week and be able to play in the preseason finale.

Sanders is the latest in a long line of injuries that have ravaged Cleveland's QB room. While presumed Week 1 starter Joe Flacco has been fortunate to make it through the first two weeks of training camp unscathed, both Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel have both been hampered by hamstring injuries. Pickett won't play against the Eagles, but there is optimism Gabriel, who threw for 3,857 yards, 30 touchdowns and just six interceptions at Oregon last season, could be healthy enough to get the start. "They're hoping Dillon Gabriel is going to wake up feeling good enough (Saturday) that he can go out and start and make his debut after his own hamstring injuries," Pelissero continued. "If not and all else fails, then it's going to be a whole lot of Tyler 'Snoop' Huntley against the Eagles." More NFL: Browns Reporter Sends Message to Shedeur Sanders After Viral Confrontation
