Panthers part ways with legend's son, sign familiar name at WR
The Carolina Panthers' first run with their second Muhsin Muhammad has already come to an end.
As announced on Tuesday afternoon, the team has waived-injured wide receiver Muhsin "Moose" Muhammad III, the son of franchise great Muhsin Muhammad. Muhammad signed with the Panthers as an undrafted free agent out of Texas A&M University at the end of April.
Little "Moose," a Charlotte, N.C. native, played for the Aggies from 2020 to 2024. The 6-foot-1, 195-pounder tallied 81 receptions for 1,163 yards and 12 touchdowns over his five collegiate seasons.
His father, Muhsin, suited up with the Panthers for 11 of his 14 NFL seasons. He is the franchise's second all-time leading receiver and one of eight members of the organization's Hall of Honor.
Taking Muhammad's place on the roster will be fellow wideout T.J. Luther. Luther first joined the Panthers as a member of their practice squad this past December.

Bills sign former Panthers linebacker Shaq Thompson, coming off 2 injury-shortened seasons
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Bills signed Shaq Thompson to a one-year contract on Tuesday, in providing the veteran linebacker an opportunity to continue his career after two injury-shortened seasons. The 31-year-old Thompson was not re-signed by Carolina in March after spending his first 10 seasons with the Panthers. He joins the Bills, where he's reunited with coach Sean McDermott, who was Carolina's defensive coordinator during Thompson's first two seasons with the team after being selected in the first round of the 2015 draft. Advertisement Thompson is also familiar with Bills linebackers coach Al Holcomb and general manager, Brandon Beane, who have previous ties to the player's time in Carolina. 'I was a young pup back in the day, now 11 years, seasoned vet, so time is coming around,' Thompson said. 'You never thought it would happen to yourself, but everything is a blessing. Everything happens in God's hands and fortunately I came here and I'm happy here.' Thompson was a starter in Carolina from his rookie season, and enjoyed a stretch from 2019-2022 in which he topped 100 tackles each year, before being slowed by injuries. He's appeared in just six games over the past two years after breaking his ankle in 2023 and then tearing his Achilles tendon in Week 4 the following year. Thompson did not practice Tuesday, and said he expects to be ready to begin for the start of training camp next month. Advertisement He then dismissed the notion of his body beginning to wear down. 'Only me and myself know my body and my mindset. And one thing about me I would never end my career on an injury,' said Thompson, who appeared in 123 games Carolina. Thompson fills a veteran depth role on a Bills defense featuring a two-linebacker system, and behind returning starters Terrel Bernard and Matt Milano. ___ AP NFL:
