CHARLOTTE — The Panthers refilled the practice squad again on Thursday, which they're getting used to this season.

The latest move was signing former Southern Cal outside linebacker Jamil Muhammad to the practice squad.

Muhammad was in camp with the Rams this year and spent most of the season on their practice squad. He sacked Shedeur Sanders in the preseason and forced a fumble.

He had 12.0 sacks in two seasons at USC, with 10.5 of them coming in 2023. He previously played at Georgia State.
