Headed to Carolina The Panthers signed Eason to a reserve/future contract Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Eason was signed to the Panthers' practice squad after being cut by the Seahawks ahead of the initial 53-man roster deadline. He was quickly thrust into backup duties behind PJ Walker after Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold suffered ankle injuries, but Eason was ultimately cut following Darnold's return from injured reserve. Eason then joined the 49ers' practice squad in mid-November and stayed there until he was cut at the beginning of January. With his new deal, he'll rejoin Carolina's organization and be able to compete for a backup role during the offseason.

Signs practice-squad deal The 49ers signed Eason to the practice squad Tuesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

NOVEMBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Heads back to practice squad Eason reverted to the Panthers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact With starter Baker Mayfield (ankle) still out, Eason was elevated ahead of Sunday's win over the Buccaneers to serve as Carolina's No. 2 quarterback behind PJ Walker. However, the practice-squad signal-caller did not play as Walker went 16-for-22 passing for 177 yards and two touchdowns against Tampa Bay. Eason will now be eligible for just one more activation on game day while with the Panthers this season.

Likely No. 2 QB on Sunday Eason was elevated from the practice squad to the 53-man roster Saturday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact With Baker Mayfield (ankle) doubtful to face Tampa Bay and Sam Darnold (ankle) still out of action, Eason will likely serve as the backup to PJ Walker for at least one more game. Eason saw his first action of the season last week against the Rams after Walker left with a neck injury, and the former completed three of five passes for 59 yards and an interception.

OCTOBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Heads back to practice squad Eason reverted to the Panthers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Eason was activated to Carolina's active roster for the first time this season with quarterbacks Baker Mayfield (ankle) and Sam Darnold (ankle) both out during Sunday's loss to the Rams. The practice-squad signal-caller had to step in after starter P.J. Walker was forced out with a neck injury in the second half. Eason completed three of his five passes for 59 yards with no touchdowns and one interception, and he will now be eligible for two more elevations from the Panthers' practice squad this season.

OCTOBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Forced into action against Rams Eason completed three of five passes for 59 yards and an interception in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Rams.

Impact P.J. Walker left the game in the second half with a neck injury, leaving Eason as the last quarterback available for the Panthers. The 24-year-old was a fourth-round pick of the Colts in the 2020 NFL Draft and had only five career pass attempts coming into this week, but with Baker Mayfield (ankle) and Sam Darnold (ankle) also injured, Eason could find himself getting the start for Carolina in Week 7 against Tampa Bay.

OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Will suit up at Rams Carolina elevated Eason from the practice squad to its active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game at the Rams, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Impact It will be Eason's first game this season, and he'll probably be serving as a backup to P.J. Walker with regular starter Baker Mayfield (ankle) doubtful. The 2020 fourth-rounder has just five NFL pass attempts to his name.

Ineffective in preseason matchup Eason completed 17 of 35 passes for 141 yards and no touchdowns in Thursday's 27-11 preseason loss to the Bears. He also rushed twice for one yard.

Impact Eason struggled to get much rolling on offense in his first action of the preseason, as he averaged four yards per pass attempt and completed less than half of his passes. Both Geno Smith (knee) and Drew Lock (COVID-19) are battling ailments right now, but as long as both are cleared before Week 1, Eason is a long shot to make the 53-man roster.
