JUST IN: Former Steelers defensive end signed by the……

Chris Wormley, a former defensive lineman for the Pittsburgh Steelers, will be signed by the Carolina Panthers off

their practice squad, the organization announced on Friday. He has made one tackle so far this season and will play

in his fourth game. Wormley participated in the team’s rotation for the previous three games.

In addition to being an unrestricted free agent since his Pittsburgh contract expired in March, Wormley has been

recuperating from the ACL surgery that prevented him from playing for the Steelers in 2022.

Earlier in the offseason, the dependable defensive lineman also went through tryouts with the New England Patriots

and New York Giants, but he chose not to sign with either team.

Wormley hopes to make an impression with a weak Panthers club and is searching for another lifeline in the NFL. As

a rotational player, he was effective for Pittsburgh; but, a serious injury kept him out of action and reduced his value

as a free agent.

Wormley had a non-contact knee injury during the Steelers’ December home game against the Baltimore Ravens.

Wormley lost much of the offseason due to the injury, which also ruined his season.

Wormley had a two-year contract with the Steelers, and as he was nearing the end of it, he was also eligible for free

agency. As a rotational member along the Steelers’ defensive line, Chris Wormley recorded 29 tackles, a forced

fumble, and 0.5 sacks prior to the injury.

Before spending his first two seasons in Pittsburgh, the 6-foot-5, 300-pound product of Michigan played three

seasons with the Baltimore Ravens. The veteran will now play for the Panthers in an attempt to make some excellent

footage before he becomes a free agent once more.
