T.J. Smith - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Signs with Tennessee The Titans signed Smith on Monday.

Impact Smith appeared in three regular-season contests with the Panthers last season, recording a pair of tackles. Signing at this stage of the summer would suggest Smith doesn't have a very realistic shot at making the 53-man roster.

Signed to Panthers' active roster Carolina signed Smith off the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Smith was unable to make the Panthers' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he opted to stick around on the practice squad. He was elevated for Week 5 and 6, and over that span he played 45 snaps (34 on defense, 11 on special teams) and recorded one tackle. Smith's addition to the active roster will give the Panthers some depth on the defensive line.
