Robert Rochell - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Ready to face Rams Rochell (concussion) does not carry an injury designation for Saturday's wild-card round matchup against Los Angeles.

Impact Rochell has fully cleared the concussion protocol and is on track to handle his usual role on special teams during Saturday's playoff opener. Across six regular-season appearances, Rochell did not handle a single defensive snap.

Upgrades to full practice Wednesday Rochell (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Rochell was unable to play in the Panthers' Week 18 loss to the Buccaneers after entering the league's concussion protocol against the Seahawks in Week 17. He appears to be progressing in his recovery given his ability to practice in full Wednesday, but he would need to clear concussion protocol in order to be available for Saturday's NFC wild-card game against the Rams. Rochell played exclusively on special teams across six regular-season games between the Panthers and Cowboys and finished with five tackles (two solo).

Listed as limited Tuesday Rochell (concussion) was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Rochell wasn't able to practice in any capacity prior to being ruled out for Week 18, so his limited listed represents a step in the right direction. In order to be eligible for Saturday's wild-card round against the Rams, however, Rochell will need to fully clear the NFL's concussion protocol.

Out for Week 18 Rochell (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Buccaneers.

Impact Rochell sustained a concussion in the Week 17 loss to the Seahawks and wasn't able to clear protocol in time to play Saturday. While the 27-year-old is sidelined in Week 18, expect Akayleb Evans to have a larger defensive role as one of Carolina's top reserve cornerbacks.

Misses Wednesday's practice Rochell (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The 27-year-old corner from Central Arkansas opened the Panthers' week of practice with consecutive DNPs after sustaining a concussion in the Week 17 loss to the Seahawks. Rochell needs to clear the NFL's five-step protocol in order to suit up for Saturday's matchup against the Buccaneers, a contest that could decide the winner of the NFC South. If he's sidelined in Week 18, expect Akayleb Evans to operate as one of the Panthers' top reserve cornerbacks.

Enters concussion protocol Rochell has entered the league's concussion protocol and has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Rochell appeared to be shaken up while on punt coverage in the first half and is now in concussion protocol after being evaluated by medical staff. He has served exclusively on special teams, so his absence won't impact the Panthers' secondary all too much for the rest of Sunday's game.

DECEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Past ankle issue Rochell (ankle) was not listed on Wednesday's injury report.

Impact Rochell sustained an ankle injury during the Panthers' Week 16 win over the Buccaneers. The injury prevented him from returning to the game, but his lack of a designation for Wednesday's practice puts him on track to play against the Seahawks on Sunday. The fifth-year corner has served solely on special teams and has logged four tackles (two solo) over the Panthers' last three games.

Questionable to return Rochell (ankle) is questionable to return in Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Rochell left early in the second quarter of Sunday's game with an ankle injury. The 27-year-old appeared in five games this season, playing only on special teams, accounting for four total tackles.

Headed to Carolina The Panthers signed Rochell off the Cowboys' practice squad Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Rochell joined the Cowboys in mid-June and primarily spent time on the team's practice squad, but he's since found a new home with the Panthers. The 27-year-old corner appeared in two games for the Cowboys this season, recording one total tackle across 16 special-teams snaps. Now in Carolina, he's expected to help fill the void of Corey Thornton (lower leg, IR) while also contributing on special teams.

Returns from hamstring injury Rochell recorded seven total tackles and intercepted a pass in Friday's 31-13 preseason victory over the Falcons.

Impact Rochell suffered a hamstring injury during Dallas' first preseason contest. He played a significant role in his return, logging 54 total snaps (44 on defense). Rochell appears unlikely to make the roster, but could carve out a role on special teams.

Not returning Saturday Rochell (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's preseason game against the Rams, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Impact Rochell picked up a hamstring injury Saturday and Dallas won't risk him handling any further reps. He's competing for a reserve role in a Cowboys cornerback room currently battling a number of injuries.

Resurfaces with Cowboys Rochell agreed to terms Wednesday on a one-year deal with Dallas, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Rochell began the offseason with a brief stint in Kansas City, but he was let go by the Chiefs shortly after the 2025 NFL Draft. He'll now compete for a depth role in the Cowboys' secondary. Between 2023 and 2024 in Green Bay, Rochell suited up for 20 regular-season games and contributed almost entirely on special teams.

JUNE 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Let go by Kansas City The Chiefs waived Rochell on Monday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

Impact Rochell inked a one-year deal with Kansas City late March, but the team's 2025 rookie class seems to have made his spot on the roster redundant. The cornerback played a notable role on special teams for Green Bay in 2023 and 2024, in which span he suited up for 20 regular-season games.

MAY 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Links up with Kansas City The Chiefs signed Rochell to a one-year contract Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Rochell suited up for 20 combined regular-season games with the Packers in 2023 and 2024, playing 233 snaps on special teams and just one snap on defense. He'll now compete to carve out a similar reserve role with Kansas City.

Dropped by Green Bay The Packers released Rochell (neck) on Monday.

Impact Rochell sustained a stinger in the Packers' Week 5 win over the Rams, but following his release Monday without an injury designation, it appears he's moved past the issue. The Central Arkansas product appeared in three games for the Packers this season, recording one tackle across 34 special-teams snaps. Rochell could very well end up back on Green Bay's practice squad if he clears waivers.

Questionable to return Rochell (neck) is considered questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Rams.

Impact Rochell suffered a stinger in the first half versus Los Angeles and his status for the rest of the game is now up in the air. The 26-year-old operates primarily as a special-teams option, so his absence doesn't carry a massive impact on defense.
