The Carolina Panthers have poached linebacker Jacoby Windmon off the Pittsburgh Steelers’ practice squad, the team announced Tuesday. They have signed him to their 53-man roster, opening up a practice squad spot on the Steelers’ roster.
An undrafted free agent from Michigan State, Windmon spent all offseason with the team. A versatile player, he began training camp as an off-ball linebacker but picked up some snaps at outside linebacker when Pittsburgh was hampered by injuries throughout August.
He had a handful of impressive practices and earned a good review in our training camp evaluation, netting a B-minus.
