Joins Las Vegas' practice squad
The Raiders signed Luton (shoulder) to the practice squad Tuesday.
Analysis: Luton spent the offseason with Carolina, but he was cut from IR with an injury settlement by the Panthers prior to Week 1. Now, Luton appears fully recovered from his shoulder issue and will be available to provide emergency quarterback depth for Las Vegas, with starter Aidan O'Connell (knee) looking uncertain for Week 15.

Out in Carolina
The Panthers released Luton (shoulder) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Luton was set to miss all of 2024 after landing on IR with a shoulder issue, but he and the Panthers agreed to an injury settlement Thursday that allows the 28-year-old to sign elsewhere once he proves that he's past his injury. Luton's last regular-season action came in 2020 with the Jaguars, when he threw for 624 yards, two touchdowns and six interceptions across three contests.

Lands on IR
The Panthers placed Luton (undisclosed) on injured reserve Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Luton appeared in each of the Panthers' first two preseason contests, but he's now landed on IR with an undisclosed injury. The 2020 sixth-round pick out of Oregon State was likely in line to be Carolina's fourth option at QB before sustaining this injury. Now that Luton has landed on IR, he'll be forced to miss all of 2024 unless he and the Panthers agree on an injury settlement at some point this season.

Set to sign with Carolina
The Panthers are planning to sign Luton to a contract, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Luton spent much of last season on Carolina's practice squad before being let go with an injury settlement in December. He'll rejoin the organization as quarterback depth in the preseason with Andy Dalton set to miss multiple weeks due to a quad injury. The Panthers also have undrafted rookie QB Jack Plummer on the roster in addition to starter Bryce Young, so it will be a tough task for Luton to make the 53-man roster.

Gets injury settlement
The Panthers cut Luton (undisclosed) from their practice squad Wednesday after the two sides reached an injury settlement, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: It's unclear what type of issue Luton is dealing with, but he's parted ways with Carolina for the second time in the past month. The quarterback out of Oregon State hasn't taken an NFL regular-season snap since he got into three games with the Jaguars in 2020.

Let go by New Orleans
The Saints waived Luton on Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Luton spent last season with New Orleans' practice squad and signed a reserve/future contract with them in January. However, the Saints no longer had a need for the 27-year-old after signing Derek Carr and drafting Jake Haener in the fourth round of the 2023 draft, so Luton will now look for another opportunity elsewhere.

Sticks with New Orleans
The Saints signed Luton to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.
Analysis: Luton joined the Saints' practice squad after being waived by Jacksonville at the end of August. The backup quarterback was up and down between New Orleans' practice squad and active roster throughout the campaign, getting cut entirely on two separate occasions, but he never made any appearances. With his new contract, he'll have an opportunity to compete for a roster spot throughout offseason work and leading up to training camp in 2023.

Returns to Saints' practice squad
The Saints re-signed Luton to their practice squad Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Analysis: Luton has been up and down between New Orleans' practice squad and active roster throughout the campaign, so he's already familiar with the organization. Though he was active for two games this season, he has yet to take a snap with the Saints. In fact, Luton hasn't seen NFL game action since 2020 with Jacksonville, so his role is clearly to provide organizational depth in case of an injury to either Andy Dalton or Jameis Winston.

Cut by New Orleans
The Saints waived Luton on Saturday.
Analysis: Due to the depleted state of its wide-receiving corps and secondary, the Saints couldn't afford to keep Luton on the 53-man roster as a No. 3 quarterback behind Jameis Winston (back/ankle) and Andy Dalton. Though Dalton will make his third straight start Sunday against the Bengals, Winston -- who is listed as questionable -- may be healthy enough to dress as his backup.

Analysis: Luton appeared in two preseason games with Jacksonville, totaling 186 yards and one interception, and was waived ahead of the 53-man roster deadline.

Draws spot start Thursday
Luton completed 10 of 17 passes for 94 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions during the Jaguars' 27-11 preseason loss to the Raiders in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game.
Analysis: The third-year signal-caller played with a largely inexperienced receiver corps that was missing top options Christian Kirk, Marvin Jones, Zay Jones and Laviska Shenault, so his numbers were more than serviceable in that context. Luton was thrown into the fire as a rookie back in 2020 and completed just 54.5 percent of his passes, and after spending part of last season with the Seahawks, he's back in Jacksonville competing for a backup job against C.J.

Reverted to practice squad
Luton was moved back to the Seahawks' practice squad Tuesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: The quarterback has been elevated to the active roster two consecutive weeks to serve as the backup to Geno Smith, but now he will have to be signed to the 53 man roster if he is asked to backup again. Russell Wilson (finger) is nearing a return but can't be activated until Nov. 14, so Luton or the recently signed Jacob Eason could serve as the second option at QB for the Seahawks in Week 8 versus the Jaguars.

Analysis: Seattle claimed fellow quarterback Jacob Eason off waivers last week, but Eason's still familiarizing himself with the playbook, leaving Luton as Smith's backup for a second consecutive week. Luton didn't make a strong first impression after being selected in the sixth round of the 2020 draft by the Jaguars, going 0-3 with an ugly 2:6 TD:INT as a rookie for Jacksonville.

Analysis: The rookie sixth-round pick received a surprising opportunity to start after Gardner Minshew went down with an injury, but he failed to take advantage of the three-game opportunity. Luton and Minshew are the only quarterbacks under contract for next season with Mike Glennon hitting free agency, but Jacksonville is poised to select a quarterback with the No. 1 overall pick during the 2021 NFL Draft.

Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said Wednesday that Luton will be bypassed for the start at quarterback Week 12 against the Browns in favor of Mike Glennon, the Associated Press reports.
Analysis: The rookie sixth-round pick had started each of the past three games in place of an injured Gardner Minshew (thumb) and proved remarkably inefficient, completing only 54.5 percent of his throws for 5.7 yards per attempt while tossing two touchdowns against six interceptions.

Turbulent outing against Steelers
Luton completed 16 of 37 attempts for 151 passing yards, throwing no touchdowns and four interceptions during Sunday's 27-3 loss to Pittsburgh. He also fumbled but recovered the loose ball himself.
Analysis: In what may have been a predictable outcome in a matchup against Pittsburgh's vaunted defense, the rookie signal-caller was a turnover machine during his third career start. He was capable of keeping the Jaguars competitive against the Texans and Packers over his first two appearances Weeks 9 and 10, losing by a combined six points, but Sunday he was overwhelmed by the Steelers.

Analysis: After missing the Jaguars' past two games, Gardner Minshew (thumb) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest, but John Shipley of SI.com relays that the signal-caller was only able to throw on a limited basis this week.

Luton completed 18 of 35 pass attempts for 169 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Sunday's 24-20 loss to Green Bay.
Analysis: Luton absorbed three sacks during the Week 10 defeat while committing a giveaway for a second straight outing, but he again proved capable of keeping the Jaguars competitive in a matchup against a Pro Bowl caliber quarterback. Last Sunday against Deshaun Watson and the Texans, Luton and Jacksonville fell by only two points. On the road in Green Bay, the rookie had his team ahead by three in the fourth quarter.

Exceeds 300 yards in debut
Luton completed 26 of 38 pass attempts for 304 yards, one touchdown and one interception while scoring a 13-yard rushing touchdown in Sunday's 27-25 loss to the Texans.
Analysis: Making his NFL debut, Luton completed an impressive 68 percent of his passes and averaged a healthy 8.0 yards per attempt. He connected with DJ Chark for a 73-yard touchdown early in the game and later added a 13-yard rushing score to pull his team within a field goal late in the fourth quarter. Gardner Minshew has yet to resume throwing while recovering from multiple injuries to his thumb, so Luton seems primed to build on a productive debut next Sunday against the Packers.

Likely starter for Week 9
Luton will take starter reps in practice this week, paving the way for him to get the nod over Mike Glennon with Gardner Minshew (thumb) ruled out for Sunday's game against Houston, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.
Analysis: Starting Luton makes sense for the 1-6 Jaguars, who can see what they have in the rookie sixth-rounder rather than trot out Glennon, who has established himself as a subpar option under center over 22 NFL starts. Minshew has been playing through a fractured thumb, so there's a chance his recovery extends beyond this week and allows Luton to make multiple starts if the rookie proves himself capable. Luton threw for 2,714 yards with a tidy 28:3 TD:INT in 11 games as a senior at Oregon State.

Analysis: Gruden specifically touted Luton's poise, accuracy and arm strength before signaling that he wants to keep three quarterbacks on the roster in 2020. Luton was impressive in his senior season at Oregon State with 2,714 yards, 28 touchdowns and just three interceptions, and the Jaguars are hoping the rookie sixth-round pick can follow in Gardner Minshew's footsteps. With a strong finish to training camp, it sounds like Luton could be locked into the No. 2 role.
