RUSS YEAST NEWS

Panthers waive safety Russ Yeast The former Rams safety was signed last week to add depth at the position for the game against the Broncos. Plus a practice squad move.

Let go by Carolina The Panthers waived Yeast from the active roster Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Impact Yeast was signed to the Panthers' 53-man roster from the practice squad Sept. 24 after being let go by the Rams on Sept. 14. He played just seven snaps on special teams in Week 4 against the Bengals and was a healthy scratch for Week 5 against the Bears. Assuming he clear waivers, Yeast could stick around and return to the Panthers' practice squad or explore his options elsewhere.

Joins active roster Yeast was signed to the 53-man roster from the Panthers' practice squad Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Impact Yeast's move to the active roster coincides with Jordan Fuller (hamstring) being placed on IR. The former will now take on a depth role in Carolina's secondary, with Nick Scott expected to take over the starting duties at strong safety.

Wavied by Rams The Rams waived Yeast on Saturday.

Impact Despite starting in nine regular-season games for the Rams last season, Yeast played just one defensive snap in Week 1 against the Lions. Should he clear waivers, the 2022 seventh-round pick will look to join a team in need of depth in the secondary.

May remain without starting role Yeast has seen work at safety and slot corner during training camp, but isn't the favorite to land either role, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

Impact Yeast opened the 2023 campaign as a starter at safety for the Rams but failed to keep the role after the team's Week 10 bye. With Jordan Fuller now in Carolina, he was expected to have a chance to earn that role again, but the emergence of Quentin Lake and the signing of Kamren Curl will likely have him in a backup role there, while Cobie Durant is expected to earn slot duties.
