Carolina Panthers claim Maema Njongmeta off the Bengals’ practice squad, adding a speedy, special-teams-ready linebacker with developmental upside. Njongmeta, a Wisconsin product who went undrafted in 2024, appeared in 17 games for Cincinnati as a rookie, mostly on special teams. Carolina also hosted Baylon Spector on a workout, signaling a broader search for LB depth ahead of the season.
