Panthers Waive Injured WR Muhammad III Sign Ex-Steelers WR Luther

The Carolina Panthers have waived wide receiver Muhsin "Moose" Muhammad III with an injury designation, ending the continuation of the franchise legacy connected to his father, Panthers legend Muhsin Muhammad II. Muhammad III, an undrafted free agent from Texas A&M, had shown dynamic playmaking ability but struggled with consistency and disciplinary issues in college. Following his release, the Panthers re-signed wide receiver T.J. Luther, who had brief stints with several NFL teams including the New York Jets, New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers, and previously with the Panthers' practice squad. Luther returns to a Panthers team with a crowded wide receiver room featuring players like Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, and Adam Thielen, making active roster playing time challenging. The Panthers' decision reflects a pragmatic move amid their roster adjustments, as Muhammad III could remain on injured reserve if he clears waivers. This roster shuffle underscores the competitive nature of securing a spot on the team during the offseason.
