Let go by Jets

The Jets cut Smith (undisclosed) from the practice squad injured list Wednesday with an injury settlement, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Smith was placed on the Jets' practice squad injured list Friday with an unspecified injury. The injury settlement allows the 2022 fourth-round pick to join a team in need of linebacker depth once he's fully healthy. Across his two regular-season appearances with the Eagles in 2023, Smith played 30 snaps on special teams and registered one tackle.

Smith was waived by Carolina on Tuesday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
After spending a fourth-round pick on Smith just one year ago, the team has decided to move on. The 22-year-old appeared in 12 games (one start) for Carolina last year, where he logged eight tackles before suffering a season-ending ankle injury. Smith will now be forced to look for a new team ahead of the coming season.
Returns to field

Smith (ankle), who finished last season on injured reserve, has been participating in OTAs, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
The 2022 fourth-round pick last saw game action in Week 14, but he's evidently past his ankle issue and has been spotted taking reps at inside linebacker during Carolina's OTAs. Prior to suffering the season-ending injury, Smith logged eight tackles in 12 games.
