Overview

  • Renfrow returns on a one-year deal four days after being released during final cuts, the team and ESPN reported.
  • Second-year receiver Jalen Coker went to injured reserve with a quad injury from Thursday's practice and must miss at least four games.
  • The move follows this week’s trade of Adam Thielen to the Vikings, leaving Carolina to rework its receiving rotation for Week 1.
  • Renfrow, a 2021 Pro Bowler, is attempting a comeback after missing 2024 while treating ulcerative colitis and dealing with a recent hamstring issue in camp.
  • General manager Dan Morgan had tabbed Coker for the slot and cited a youth-focused group featuring Tetairoa McMillan and Xavier Legette, with Renfrow now expected to take an early role as a veteran option for Bryce Young.
