Matthews was signed from the practice squad to the 53-man roster Tuesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews missed all of the 2022 season due to a torn ACL and joined Carolina's practice squad in late October after proving himself healthy. The veteran tight end should provide extra depth with Stephen Sullivan currently dealing with a shoulder injury.

Carolina signed Matthews to its practice squad Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews sustained a torn ACL in August of 2022 that forced him out for the entirety of last season, but he'll now be back in pads with the Panthers. Carolina already holds three healthy tight ends on its active roster, so it would be somewhat surprising to see Matthews elevated in the near future.

Matthews (knee) tried out with the Panthers on Tuesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews has seemingly recovered from a torn ACL he suffered last August that forced him to miss the entire season. The former wide receiver last played in a game in 2021 and hasn't caught a pass since 2019 but will now look for another opportunity to catch on with a team.

The 30-year-old has been dealing with knee issues for most of his career. Matthews was considered to have a good chance at making San Francisco's roster before the injury.
