CHARLOTTE — The Panthers now employ two of the top 10 picks in the 2020 NFL draft on their active roster.
The team signed linebacker Isaiah Simmons from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday.
Simmons had been on the practice squad, and they used his limit of three standard elevations, so he needed to be on the 53-man roster to play again.
Simmons has played mostly on special teams in those three games, with one snap on defense.
The No. 8 overall pick in the 2020 draft out of Clemson, Simmons was taken by the Cardinals one spot after the Panthers took defensive tackle Derrick Brown.
