The Carolina Panthers are waiving second-year punter Joseph Charlton, per NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero.
Charlton was placed on the injured reserve with a lower-back injury on Oct. 14, but has since made a full recovery.
The #Panthers are waiving punter Joseph Charlton, per source. After a short stint on IR, Charlton is fully healthy now and was solid as a rookie in 2020.

While Charlton is a solid punting option, the strong play of veteran punter Lac Edwards in his absence seems to have sealed his fate.
Charlton averaged 39.1 yards per punt through five games with the Panthers earlier this season. Over the past three games, Edwards has averaged 48.5 yards per punt.
Now available on waivers, Charlton could be a solid pickup for a team in need of a punter. During his rookie season with the Panthers in 2020, the 24-year-old punter averaged 46.3 yards per punt through 16 games.
