Chisena re-signed with the Panthers on a one-year deal back in March, but he was placed on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list to start training camp.

He’s also had stints with the Minnesota Vikings, Arizona Cardinals and Baltimore Ravens since entering the league in 2020. Chisena has appeared in 37 games throughout his career, primarily as a special teams player.

Chisena caught just three passes during his career in Happy Valley from 2015-19. He was on the Nittany Lions’ track and field team as well.
