According to his agent, Kyle Strongin, rookie fullback Alex Armah will sign with the Carolina Panthers’ 53-man roster from the practice squad on Tuesday.
Armah, a versatile pass-catching fullback out of West Georgia, had a promising preseason but did not make the original 53-man roster. Instead, he was released by Carolina, which had hoped he would clear waivers to re-sign with the practice squad.
Starting tight end Greg Olsen broke his foot in the second quarter of the Panthers' game against Buffalo on Sunday, which highlighted the need for another blocker/pass-catcher to either be added to the team externally or pulled up from the practice squad.
