Jake Luton - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Out in Carolina The Panthers released Luton (shoulder) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Luton was set to miss all of 2024 after landing on IR with a shoulder issue, but he and the Panthers agreed to an injury settlement Thursday that allows the 28-year-old to sign elsewhere once he proves that he's past his injury. Luton's last regular-season action came in 2020 with the Jaguars, when he threw for 624 yards, two touchdowns and six interceptions across three contests.

Lands on IR The Panthers placed Luton (undisclosed) on injured reserve Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Impact Luton appeared in each of the Panthers' first two preseason contests, but he's now landed on IR with an undisclosed injury. The 2020 sixth-round pick out of Oregon State was likely in line to be Carolina's fourth option at QB before sustaining this injury. Now that Luton has landed on IR, he'll be forced to miss all of 2024 unless he and the Panthers agree on an injury settlement at some point this season.

Set to sign with Carolina The Panthers are planning to sign Luton to a contract, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Impact Luton spent much of last season on Carolina's practice squad before being let go with an injury settlement in December. He'll rejoin the organization as quarterback depth in the preseason with Andy Dalton set to miss multiple weeks due to a quad injury. The Panthers also have undrafted rookie QB Jack Plummer on the roster in addition to starter Bryce Young, so it will be a tough task for Luton to make the 53-man roster.

Joins Panthers' practice squad Carolina signed Luton to its practice squad Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact A little over a week after being cut loose by New Orleans, Luton has now found another opportunity with the Saints' division rival. As long as Bryce Young and Andy Dalton remain healthy though, Luton doesn't have a realistic path to playing time.

Waived by New Orleans The Saints waived Luton on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact With rookie Jake Haener coming off suspension, Luton is no longer needed behind Derek Carr and Jameis Winston. A 2020 sixth-round pick of Jacksonville, Luton hasn't played in a regular-season game since his rookie year when he started three contests, totaling two touchdowns and six interceptions.

Sticks with New Orleans The Saints signed Luton to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.

Impact Luton joined the Saints' practice squad after being waived by Jacksonville at the end of August. The backup quarterback was up and down between New Orleans' practice squad and active roster throughout the campaign, getting cut entirely on two separate occasions, but he never made any appearances. With his new contract, he'll have an opportunity to compete for a roster spot throughout offseason work and leading up to training camp in 2023.

Returns to Saints' practice squad The Saints re-signed Luton to their practice squad Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Impact Luton has been up and down between New Orleans' practice squad and active roster throughout the campaign, so he's already familiar with the organization. Though he was active for two games this season, he has yet to take a snap with the Saints. In fact, Luton hasn't seen NFL game action since 2020 with Jacksonville, so his role is clearly to provide organizational depth in case of an injury to either Andy Dalton or Jameis Winston.

Signed to active roster Luton was signed to the Saints' active roster Saturday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Luton signed with the Saints' practice squad prior to the start of the regular season after spending the preseason with Jacksonville. He'll likely serve as the backup quarterback Sunday against the Vikings with Jameis Winston (back) unavailable.

Waived by Jacksonville Luton was waived by the Jaguars on Monday.

Impact Luton appeared in each of Jacksonville's first two preseason games, completing 22 of 38 passes for 186 yards and one interception. The 2020 sixth-round pick was expected to compete for the top backup spot behind Trevor Lawrence, but he's been let go during the first wave of cuts ahead of Tuesday's 85-man roster deadline.

Draws spot start Thursday Luton completed 10 of 17 passes for 94 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions during the Jaguars' 27-11 preseason loss to the Raiders in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game.

Impact The third-year signal-caller played with a largely inexperienced receiver corps that was missing top options Christian Kirk, Marvin Jones, Zay Jones and Laviska Shenault, so his numbers were more than serviceable in that context. Luton was thrown into the fire as a rookie back in 2020 and completed just 54.5 percent of his passes, and after spending part of last season with the Seahawks, he's back in Jacksonville competing for a backup job against C.J. Beathard (groin). Luton could have another solid opportunity in front of him in the second half during the Aug. 12 preseason matchup against the Browns even if Trevor Lawrence starts that contest.

Starting Thursday Luton will draw the start Thursday against the Raiders in the Hall of Fame Game, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

Impact With Trevor Lawrence getting the night off, and C.J. Beathard still recovering from a groin injury suffered in minicamp, Luton will get the nod. The 26-year-old will use the opportunity to help prove he deserves to be Lawrence's backup, as Beathard is still currently projected to fill that role.

Joins Miami's practice squad Luton signed a deal to join Miami's practice squad on Wednesday.

Impact After getting cut loose from Seattle, Luton will now join Miami's practice squad, as starter Tua Tagovailoa has been battling injuries all season long. Expect the quarterback to stay on the Dolphins' practice squad unless they face any further injuries in their QB room.

Reverted to practice squad Luton was moved back to the Seahawks' practice squad Tuesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact The quarterback has been elevated to the active roster two consecutive weeks to serve as the backup to Geno Smith, but now he will have to be signed to the 53 man roster if he is asked to backup again. Russell Wilson (finger) is nearing a return but can't be activated until Nov. 14, so Luton or the recently signed Jacob Eason could serve as the second option at QB for the Seahawks in Week 8 versus the Jaguars.

Impact Seattle claimed fellow quarterback Jacob Eason off waivers last week, but Eason's still familiarizing himself with the playbook, leaving Luton as Smith's backup for a second consecutive week. Luton didn't make a strong first impression after being selected in the sixth round of the 2020 draft by the Jaguars, going 0-3 with an ugly 2:6 TD:INT as a rookie for Jacksonville.
