He latched on with Kansas City via a futures deal in January, but he'll likely be a free agent heading into the regular season. The Arkansas product is still looking to make his NFL debut.

  The Panthers have released Bayless from their practice squad Monday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports. Bayless appeared to have a chance to make the Panthers' 53-man roster last season before a knee injury landed him on IR. He failed to make the initial roster again this year, but he landed on Carolina's practice squad after clearing waivers. His release is presumably to make room for Corn Elder.

  The Panthers placed Bayless (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday, Myles Simmons of the team's official site reports. Bayless underwent knee surgery Tuesday, a procedure that carried an expected recovery timetable of roughly two weeks.

• Panthers' Omar Bayless: Undergoes knee procedure

  Rotowire Aug 25, 2020

  Bayless underwent knee surgery Tuesday, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports. Bayless has no structural damage to his knee, and his procedure reportedly only took roughly 15 minutes. With an expected recovery timetable of about two weeks, Bayless has a fair shot at being ready for Week 1. However, his chances of garnering more than a depth role in Carolina's receiver corps look slim.

• Panthers' Omar Bayless: Battling knee issue

  Rotowire Aug 18, 2020

  Head coach Matt Rhule said Bayless' knee swelled up Monday night, Joe Person of The Athletic reports. Rhule gave an injury update on Bayless and simultaneously praised the undrafted rookie wide receiver, saying Bayless "can help us this year." That's quite the endorsement, although it's not entirely surprising because Bayless racked up 93 receptions for 1,653 yards and 17 touchdowns in his senior season at Arkansas State. The 23-year-old will look to recover quickly to stay on track for a spot on the 53-man roster.
