The Carolina Panthers have waived undrafted wide receiver Trevontae Hights, removing a candidate from a crowded competition to fill the last receiver spot on the roster.
In a corresponding move, the team claimed defensive tackle Bruce Hector off waivers from the Philadelphia Eagles.
Hector also went undrafted after playing his college football at South Florida, where he posted 18 sacks and 28 tackles for a loss in 31 games. He has mostly been on and off Philadelphia’s roster for the last two years. Hector has played in 11 games with the Eagles, totaling half a sack and two tackles in limited action on defense.
