CHARLOTTE - Safety Robert Lester and wide receiver Tavarres King are among 10 players rejoining the Panthers as members of their practice squad.

Both were on the Panthers' 53-man roster for parts of last season. Lester, as an undrafted rookie in 2013, spent the first two games on the team's practice squad before joining the active roster and playing in 12 games with four starts. King, selected by the Denver Broncos in the fifth round of the 2013 NFL Draft, was claimed off waivers by the Panthers midway through last season. He was inactive for each of the final 10 games of the regular season.

In addition, Carolina signed four rookies to the practice squad - cornerback Carrington Byndom, linebacker Adarius Glanton, wide receiver Marcus Lucas and running back Darrin Reaves.
