Carolina bound Milne signed with the Panthers' practice squad Wednesday.

Impact Milne spent training camp with the Raiders after missing the 2023 campaign due to a groin injury but failed to secure a spot on their 53-man roster. The BYU product did suit up 15 times in 2022 for the Commanders, working as a return man and making six catches on seven targets for 37 yards and a touchdown.

Let go by Las Vegas Milne was waived by the Raiders on Tuesday, per the team's official site.

Impact Milne was selected in the seventh round of the NFL Draft by Washington in 2021 and got into 18 regular-season games across his first two professional campaigns, totaling 15 catches on 21 targets for 120 yards and one touchdown while also working as a kick and punt returner. The BYU product spent all of last season on IR due to a groin injury and was waived by the Commanders this July before latching on with Las Vegas. He's now healthy and will look to get another chance on an NFL roster, though he may need to spend time on a practice squad first.

Headed to Las Vegas Milne agreed to a deal with the Raiders on Tuesday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

Impact Milne spent all of 2023 on injured reserve due to a groin injury, and he was waived by the Commanders on July 31. The 2021 seventh-round pick played in 15 regular-season games with Washington in 2022, registering six catches for 37 yards and one touchdown while adding 611 total return yards. Milne's return experience could help him earn a spot on the Raiders' 53-man roster at the conclusion of training camp.

Out in Washington Milne was waived by the Commanders on Wednesday.

Impact Milne missed all of Washington's 2023 campaign due to a groin issue, and the team has now decided to let go of the 25-year-old wideout. The BYU product appeared in 15 regular-season games with the Commanders in 2022, recording 611 total return yards and one receiving touchdown. In a corresponding move, Washington agreed to terms with WR Byron Pringle.

No catches since November Milne finished the 2022 season with six catches for 37 yards, 40 punt returns for 311 yards and 15 kickoff returns for 300 yards.

Impact The 2021 seventh-round pick had a long return of 19 yards for punts and 33 yards for kickoffs, but the Commanders might be okay with the lack of explosiveness given that he didn't muff a punt or lose a fumble all year. Milne nonetheless could face competition for the return job during Washington's offseason program, and he's unlikely to reach the top three of the depth chart on offense.

Ready for Sunday Milne (foot) shed his injury designation and practiced in full Thursday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

Impact Milne hasn't played since Week 11 against the Texans and was unable to practice leading up to the team's Week 14 bye. After logging a limited practice Wednesday, the 23-year-old has proven himself healthy and should be good to go Sunday against the Giants.

DECEMBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gets on field Wednesday Milne (foot) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Milne has sat out each of the team's last two games proceeding their Week 14 bye. His return to practice should be good for his prospects of suiting up Sunday against the Giants. However, he is still considered questionable heading into Week 15.

DECEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined again for Week 13 Milne (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Milne is now in line to miss his second consecutive contest as a result of the foot injury he sustained in Week 11 versus Houston. In the 23-year-old's absence, Antonio Gibson (foot) appears like the top candidate to return kickoffs, while Jahan Dotson is slated to handle punt returns this weekend in New York.

Still not practicing Milne (foot) didn't practice Wednesday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Milne missed his first game of the season in Week 12 with a foot injury and remains sidelined to start Week 13 prep due to the issue. The second-year wideout will have two more opportunities to practice before the team needs to make a decision on his availability for Sunday's matchup against the Giants.

Won't suit up Sunday Milne (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Milne is slated to miss his first contest of the 2022-23 campaign as a result of a foot injury. Though the 23-year-old's offensive opportunities have been limited this season, he's seen work as a returner on both kickoffs and punts across Washington's first 11 weeks. In his absence, Antonio Gibson is likely the next man up to handle kick returns, while Jahan Dotson is expected to operate as the team's primary punt returner in Sunday's matchup versus Atlanta.

Scores first NFL TD Milne scored a six-yard touchdown on his lone target in Sunday' 20-17 loss to Minnesota.

Impact The 2021 seventh-round had exactly one catch and one target for a fourth straight game, adding five punt returns for 41 yards in this one. Milne played only 10 snaps on offense, which was actually his second most this season, essentially making him the No. 5 receiver in playing time (with the possibility of dropping to No. 6 once Jahan Dotson comes back from his hamstring injury).

Targeted once again Milne caught his lone target for a four-yard gain in Sunday's 17-16 win over Indianapolis, playing 15 percent of snaps on offense.

Impact Milne caught exactly one pass for either four or five yards for a third straight week. He's been the No. 4 receiver with both Jahan Dotson (hamstring) and Dyami Brown (groin) injured, but lightly targeted Cam Sims is getting far more playing time. Milne has also been quiet on special teams, with a long kick return of 33 yards and a long punt return of 19.

OCTOBER 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Catches one pass Milne caught his lone target for a six-yard gain in Sunday's loss to Detroit, taking six kick returns for 128 yards and three punt returns for 33 yards.

Impact Milne has two targets on eight offensive snaps through the first two weeks of the season, with his fantasy value strictly limited to return-yardage leagues. He hasn't broken a long one yet, but he did have a couple nice returns in Sunday's loss and now has 227 total return yards through two weeks.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Looks good again Milne caught each of his four targets for 37 yards in a preseason loss to the Chiefs on Saturday.

Impact Milne caught two of three targets for 30 yards the week before, perhaps gaining ground on Dyami Brown, among others, in a competition for the fourth and fifth WR spots. Brown has draft capital working in his favor but hasn't done much this preseason, while Cam Sims would be the experienced option. Milne and Alex Erickson have the most yards this preseason, so it's a battle that could continue through the third and final exhibition.

Active for training camp Milne (foot) participated in Friday's practice session, Bryan Manning of USA Today reports.

Impact Milne was in a protective walking boot at minicamp in mid-June but was catching passes at training camp Friday. The 23-year-old will presumably need to compete for a spot on the Commanders' 53-man roster ahead of the regular season.

Impact It's unclear when exactly Milne suffered the injury, but he's unable to fully take part during minicamp. The 22-year-old appeared in 13 games as a rookie last year and had nine catches for 83 yards and one carry for one yard.

Healthy scratch for Week 14 Milne (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Cowboys, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Milne will register his third straight healthy scratch in Week 14. In four games before his inactive stretch, the rookie seventh-round pick caught six passes for 65 yards. However, now that Washington's wideout room is getting healthy, Milne is on the outside looking in.

Catches two targets Milne caught both of his targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 29-19 win over Tampa Bay.

Impact It was his third straight game with multiple targets and at least one reception, though Milne spoiled it by losing a fumble. He did play 27 percent of snaps on offense, appearing to have a leg up on Cam Sims (18 percent) and Dyami Brown (11 percent) for the No. 4 receiver role. Washington mostly seems pleased with the rookie seventh-round pick so far, but Milne is still behind Terry McLaurin, DeAndre Carter and Adam Humphries on the depth chart.
