Chisena signed a reserve/future contract with the Panthers on Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chisena spent most of the 2026 season on Carolina's practice squad but was elevated for one game during the 2025 regular season. He has 38 regular-season appearances but just three catches in his NFL career. Chisena will likely get a chance to compete for a roster spot in training camp.

Chisena reverted to the Panthers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Chisena was elevated to the active roster ahead of the team's 17-7 loss to the Saints on Sunday, failing to record any stats while playing four snaps on offense and nine snaps with the special-teams unit. The wide receiver was behind Tetairoa McMillan (48), Jalen Coker (40), Xavier Legette (37) and Jimmy Horn (11) in offensive snaps while Hunter Renfrow was a healthy scratch. Chisena is eligible to be elevated two more times before the team would have to officially sign him to the active roster.

The Panthers elevated Chisena from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chisena's elevation is likely insurance, preparing for the event in which wide receivers Tetairoa McMillan (hamstring) or Brycen Tremayne (hip) are unable to suit up for Sunday's game. The 28-year-old wide receiver logged 80 special teams snaps and 19 offensive snaps for the Panthers during the 2024 campaign, where he acquired his first three NFL receptions for 37 yards.

The Panthers signed Chisena (calf) to the practice squad Tuesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chisena was nursing a calf injury at the beginning of training camp, which led to him and the Panthers reaching an injury settlement in late July. The 28-year-old wideout appears to have fully recovered from the injury and has opted to return to Carolina as a member of the team's practice squad. Chisena has mostly operated on special teams since entering the league in April of 2020 as an undrafted free agent, but he did log three catches (on four targets) for 37 yards across six regular-season games with the Panthers in 2024.

Chisena (calf) was removed from the active/PUP list by the Panthers on Tuesday, Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

After one season in Carolina, Chisena has been cut with an injury settlement to create roster space for the signing of Ja'Seem Reed. The 28-year-old Chisena appeared in six games last year, recording three receptions for 37 yards. He will now look to join a new team for the sixth time since entering the league in 2020.

Chisena (calf) was placed on the active/PUP list Monday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chisena can be activated at any time during training camp. He has spent most of his NFL career playing special teams, though the 28-year-old Chisena registered the first three NFL catches of his career with the Panthers last season.

Chisena re-signed with the Panthers on a one-year contract Wednesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chisena began the 2024 season in Arizona before joining Carolina's practice squad mid-October, ultimately appearing in six games with the Panthers. He secured three of four targets for 37 yards in that span. Now, Chisena will work to put together a strong offseason and earn another reserve role on offense during the 2025 campaign.

Chisena caught three of his four targets for 37 yards across six regular-season games in 2024.

EDGE Analysis

Chisena joined the Panthers' practice squad in mid-October after beginning his 2024 campaign in Arizona. The Penn State product went on to appear in six of Carolina's final seven games this season, recording the first three receptions of his NFL career while also contributing on special teams (80 special-teams snaps). After inking a deal to join the Panthers' active roster Dec. 17, Chisena is set to be a restricted free agent this summer, meaning Carolina can match any offer he receives from another team. If the 27-year-old remains with the Panthers, he'll likely compete for a depth role in the team's wide-receiver room throughout the offseason.

The Panthers signed Chisena off the practice squad to the active roster Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chisena signed with the Panthers' practice squad in mid-October after being cut from the Cardinals' practice squad. Chisena was elevated to Carolina's active roster from Week 12 to 14, and over those three games he played 39 snaps (nine on offense, 30 on special teams) and caught his lone target for six yards. Chisena will provide the Panthers depth at wide receiver, and he could see some snaps on offense against the Cardinals on Sunday if rookie first-round pick Xavier Legette (groin) is unable to play.

Chisena reverted to Carolina's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Chisena played 11 snaps (six on offense, five on special teams) but did not show up in the box score during Sunday's 22-16 loss to the Eagles. It was the third time Chisena was elevated from the practice squad, which means the Panthers would have to sign him to the active roster in order to keep playing him.
