Catches onto practice squad
Wormley signed with the Panthers' practice squad Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Wormley has managed to work his way back from a torn ACL he suffered in Week 13 last season when playing for the Steelers. The 29-year-old could see some time on the active roster this season as a veteran backup for a Panthers defensive front that lacks depth experience between Nick Thurman and LaBryan Ray.

The Bryce Young-era in Carolina got off to a rocky start, to say the least. With better skill talent around him this season, he seems better positioned to fulfill his status as the No. 1 draft pick from 2023.
2022 Fantasy Outlook
Wormley missed two games late in the 2021 season but still put up a career-best performance while appearing in 15 games during his second year with the Steelers. The 28-year-old posted 51 tackles (29 solo), seven sacks, a forced fumble and three pass defenses last year while playing a prominent role on Pittsburgh's defensive line, but he'll have additional competition for playing time after the Steelers signed Larry Ogunjobi during the offseason.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely headed back to bench
Wormley is expected to fill a reserve role this season, Mark Kaboly of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old defensive end had a breakout 2021 campaign, recording career highs with seven sacks and 51 tackles. However, Wormley graded out poorly as a run defender, and Pittsburgh finished last against the run as a team. With the Steelers adding Larry Ogunjobi, a more well-rounded player, in the offseason, Wormley likely will be deployed primarily as a situational pass rusher rather than seeing significant snaps on running downs.
