The Carolina Panthers were a little busy before taking the practice field on Wednesday.
Along with officially declaring the returns of running back Jonathon Brooks , defensive lineman Jaden Cruemdy and safety Sam Franklin Jr., the team also announced that they've signed veteran wideout Dan Chisena to their practice squad.
A Paoli, Penn. native, Chisena played his college ball at nearby Penn State University from 2018 to 2019. He appeared in 14 games for the Nittany Lions, posting three catches for 66 yards.
The 6-foot-3, 203-pounder would then crack into the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Minnesota Vikings in 2020. He played almost strictly as a special teamer from 2020 to 2022, with just 11 of his 507 snaps for the Vikings coming on offense.
Chisena has also picked up stops with the Pittsburgh Steelers , Arizona Cardinals and Baltimore Ravens . He was most recently with the Cardinals, who released him this past Friday to end his second stint in Arizona.
