With Jewell out of the way the Panthers needed somebody else to step up and wear the green dot. Apparently that honor has fallen to free agent pickup Christian Rozeboom, according to Joe Person at The Athletic.

Panthers HC Dave Canales described the release of LB Josey Jewell as a "big loss," and talked about the outlook of the position moving forward.

Jewell received a failed physical designation as part of the release process on Tuesday, according to the NFL transaction wire. A team spokesperson clarified that the inside linebacker is still recovering from the concussion he suffered in a December contest against the Arizona Cardinals — one that kept him out the rest of the season.
