The Carolina Panthers have added offensive tackle Dillon Gordon to their roster by claiming him off waivers from the Kansas City Chiefs, according to a tweet from Bryan Strickland.

Gordon was an undrafted free agent from LSU in 2016 and has spent the majority of his career — all but one game, in fact — on the Eagles’ and Chiefs’ practice squads.

Here’s more on Gordon from the Panthers’ report of the signing:

The 6-foot-4, 322-pounder spent last season on injured reserve with a shoulder injury. Undrafted in 2016 out of LSU, where he primarily served as a blocking tight end, Gordon was signed by the Eagles and started out as a tight end before shifting to guard and then eventually making the 53-man roster as a tackle. Gordon played in one game as a rookie – as an extra linemen and at fullback and on special teams – then spent most of the 2017 season on Philadelphia’s practice squad before being let go and then signing with the Chiefs practice squad soon after. ~Panthers.com

Gordon spent the 2018 season on injured reserve after sustaining a shoulder injury during training camp with the Chiefs:

Gordon (6-4, 322) first joined the Chiefs as a practice squad player in late 2017, then was with the Chiefs during training camp in 2018 before suffering a shoulder injury that sent him to injured reserve. He was listed on the team’s depth chart as the third team left tackle behind Eric Fisher and Andrew Wylie during training camp. ~Kirk Larrabee, 247Sports

It’s clear the Panthers are looking to improve their offensive line any way they can, and there’s a chance that Gordon could end up being quality depth for them. This move probably won’t change their draft plans too much — assuming offensive line is on their draft radar (as it should be) — but Gordon could be a name to watch out for this summer as several players compete for one of the backup tackle spots.
