Panthers make a change on defense, add outside linebacker

RosterMoves

CHARLOTTE — The Panthers made a change on defense on Tuesday, adding to a thin spot.

The team waived defensive tackle Jaden Crumedy and signed outside linebacker Trevis Gipson off the 49ers practice squad.

The 28-year-old Gipson has appeared in 59 games during his career, with 11.0 sacks. He was most recently active with the 49ers, playing in three games and recovering a fumble. Originally a fifth-round pick of the Bears out of Tulsa, he's also spent time with the Jaguars and Seahawks.

He once had 10.0 sacks in a two-season span with the Bears, and the Panthers could use help there after Patrick Jones II was lost for the season to a back injury that required surgery.

Crumedy, last year's sixth-round pick, has been on the practice squad and the active roster throughout this season.

They also brought back rookie offensive tackle Michael Tarquin to the practice squad. He was here throughout the offseason and training camp and was released from the practice squad last week.

To make room for him, they released practice squad cornerback Michael Reid.
