CHARLOTTE The Panthers added another tight end to the roster on Wednesday.

The team signed former Nebraska tight end Heinrich Haarberg.

A former starting quarterback at Nebraska, he got time at tight end throughout his years with the Cornhuskers, evolving from a Taysom Hill-esque gadget player into a full-time tight end.

The 6-foot-4, 237-pounder caught 11 passes for 79 yards and a touchdown, and was 5-3 as a starting quarterback in 2023.

They were down a tight end after Bryce Pierrewas waived-injured on Monday.

To make room for him on the roster, they waived outside linebacker Jamil Muhammad.
