Former Chiefs tight end Gavin Escobar works out for Panthers

Gavin Escobar’s search for meaningful work continues heading into Week 3 of the NFL’s regular season after spending the entirety of the offseason with the Kansas City Chiefs. The free agent tight end’s latest stop is with the Carolina Panthers, who held a tryout for several free agents including Kellen Davis and Jace Amaro.

Losing Olsen is a significant blow for the Panthers, akin to the Chiefs losing Travis Kelce, given the tremendous reliability and production over the last few years.
