Let go by Carolina
The Panthers waived Yeast from the active roster Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Yeast was signed to the Panthers' 53-man roster from the practice squad Sept. 24 after being let go by the Rams on Sept. 14. He played just seven snaps on special teams in Week 4 against the Bengals and was a healthy scratch for Week 5 against the Bears. Assuming he clear waivers, Yeast could stick around and return to the Panthers' practice squad or explore his options elsewhere.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
The rookie campaign for Yeast was fairly uneventful, as he recorded just 20 tackles (16 solo) over 111 snaps on defense. The former seventh-round pick will likely have a much larger role in 2023 however, as Nick Scott and Taylor Rapp and their 1,885 combined snaps have departed, and despite the team signing John Johnson for a second tour of duty, Yeast should have the first shot at earning the starting strong safety role.
