The Carolina Panthers have made a surprising move by releasing linebacker Josey Jewell, who has been struggling with concussion symptoms for several weeks. The 30-year-old signed a three-year deal worth $22.75 million last offseason and played in 12 games for the Panthers, recording 97 tackles, 3.5 sacks, one interception, and two fumble recoveries. Prioritizing his health, Jewell's exit marks a significant loss for the Panthers' defense as they prepare for the upcoming season.
