Released from the practice squad of the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday, Cam Sims signed with the practice squad of the Carolina Panthers on Wednesday.
The return of former Athens High School standout Quez Watkins from injured reserve during the past two games gave the Eagles a strong set of wide receivers with Watkins joining 1,000-yard receiver A.J. Brown, former Alabama stars Julio Jones and DeVonta Smith and Olamide Zaccheaus.
The Panthers have 10-year veteran Adam Thielen as their top target in 2023, joined by rookie Jonathan Mingo, DJ Chark, Terrace Marshall Jr. and Laviska Shenault Jr. as the leading wide receivers.
In 2022 during his fifth season with the Washington Commanders, Sims had eight receptions for 89 yards while on the field for 328 offensive snaps and 244 special-teams plays in 17 games.
