Panthers sign one WR to practice squad, release another

The Carolina Panthers just announced a couple practice squad changes. Former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Shelton Gibson has been released, making room for Ventell Bryant, who just signed.

Bryant (6-foot-3, 205 pounds) played for coach Matt Rhule at Temple, where he posted 173 catches, 2,444 yards (a school record) and 10 touchdowns. After his college career was over, Bryant went undrafted. He got his first gig in the NFL with the Cowboys. He played 12 games for Dallas last season, mostly on special teams.

With Gibson gone, Bryant becomes one of of three wide receivers on the practice squad. The others are Marken Michel and Amara Darboh.

In related news, the team is being forced to waive their emergency kicker Lirim Harjullahu due to an issue with his work visa.
