CHARLOTTE, NC – The Carolina Panthers have promoted cornerback Caleb Farley from their practice squad to the active 53-man roster, the team announced today. Farley, the team’s 2021 first-round pick, has impressed the coaching staff in recent weeks, culminating in a strong performance against the New York Giants in Germany.
Farley, 26, has overcome significant adversity, including an ACL injury during his rookie season with the Tennessee Titans and a subsequent disc injury requiring surgery. His return to the field has been a testament to his resilience. General Manager Dan Morgan cited Farley’s athleticism and on-field performance as key factors in the decision, stating, “You could see why he was drafted in the first round…He was really impressive.”
The move comes as the Panthers were out of practice squad elevations, solidifying Farley’s place on the main roster. Farley, a North Carolina native, has found comfort in living close to his childhood home, citing the proximity to family as a source of support after experiencing personal tragedies.
The Panthers, currently 3-7, will look to Farley to contribute to their secondary as they navigate the remainder of the season.
