Lands back on practice squad
Sullivan (knee) reverted to Carolina's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Sullivan got his first elevation of the season Sunday against Tampa Bay and played eight offensive snaps along with nine special-teams snaps. He didn't catch his only target and suffered a knee injury in the second half, causing him to miss the rest of the contest after initially being deemed doubtful to return. The injury could be an obstacle to Sullivan being elevated again Week 14, as could the potential return of the Panthers' top tight end, Ja'Tavion Sanders (neck).

Back with Carolina
The Panthers signed Sullivan to the practice squad Tuesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Analysis: Sullivan was cut from the Panthers' practice squad Oct. 10, but he is back with the team less than three weeks later. He has yet to be elevated to the active roster this season, though he could be for the Panthers' Week 9 contest against the Saints on Sunday if No. 4 tight end Feleipe Franks cannot clear the league's concussion protocols before that game.

Gets let go
Sullivan was cut from the Panthers' practice squad Thursday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Sullivan joined Carolina's practice squad Sept. 30 but never received an elevation to the active roster. The 27-year-old will now have to work to find another opportunity, but he could be a candidate to return if Ian Thomas (calf) and Tommy Tremble (concussion) cannot suit up in Week 6 against the Falcons.

Back in Carolina
Sullivan signed with the Panthers' practice squad Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Sullivan spent the previous three seasons with the team and was with them in training camp until he reached an injury settlement after injuring his quadriceps. Now healthy, the LSU product will provide some extra organizational depth at tight end for the Panthers.

Sullivan (quadriceps) worked out for the Giants on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Sullivan received an injury settlement from the Panthers in early August, making him a free agent. Now healthy, the LSU product is working to find a new opportunity. With the Giants not receiving much production from their tight ends, they may be looking to beef up their depth there, considering they also worked out Teagan Quitoriano and Armani Rogers on Monday as well.

Reaches injury settlement
The Panthers released Sullivan (quadriceps) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Sullivan was set to miss all of 2024 after landing on Carolina's injured reserve last Thursday, but the 27-year-old will now have the opportunity to catch on with another team once he's fully healthy. The 2020 seventh-round tight end out of LSU played in 11 regular-season games for the Panthers last season, posting 12 catches on 24 targets for 125 yards.

Lands on IR
Sullivan (quadriceps) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Sullivan will have his 2024 campaign come to an early end with his shift to IR sidelining him for the season. However, he could find another opportunity if he reaches an injury settlement with the team and can prove himself healthy. The LSU product appeared in 11 regular-season games for Carolina last season, recording 12 catches on 24 targets for 125 yards. In a corresponding move, the team signed fellow tight end Curtis Hodges.

The Panthers signed Sullivan to a one-year extension Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Sullivan was placed on the Panthers' IR on Aug. 31 with a hip injury. He returned Oct. 4 and managed to play 11 games. Sullivan split his time between offense and special teams and finished the season with 12 catches on 24 targets for 125 yards. The 2020 seventh-round pick out of LSU will have a chance at making Carolina's 53-man roster for the 2024 season.

No catches Sunday
Sullivan didn't catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Jaguars.
Analysis: Sullivan's goose egg came after a decent, three-catch outing in Week 16. Despite making the stat sheet in most games during the second half of the season, Sullivan's stock remains restricted heading into Sunday's finale versus the Buccaneers.

Targeted five times in Week 16
Sullivan caught three of five targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Packers.
Analysis: Sullivan operated as the Panthers' No. 2 tight end behind Tommy Tremble, playing just 14 of Carolina's 66 offensive snaps. In nine appearances, the 27-year-old tight end has recorded just 12 catches for 125 yards this season. Sullivan should remain far off the fantasy radar in a Week 17 matchup with the Jaguars.

Makes one catch
Sullivan caught his only target for 14 yards in Sunday's 9-7 win over the Falcons.
Analysis: Sullivan has become more of a factor lately, with all nine of his catches this season coming in the last eight weeks. Although he hasn't topped 28 yards in any contest, he's generally been good for an occasional catch, as was the case Sunday.

Good for Week 14
Sullivan (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Analysis: Sullivan was able to practice fully Friday, so it's not a surprise he's suiting up in New Orleans. The 27-year-old has three catches for 49 yards over the past three games with Hayden Hurst (concussion) sidelined, and Sullivan will likely have a similar offensive role Sunday with Hurst still unavailable. Ian Thomas and Tommy Tremble are also active, so Carolina will likely have a three-man rotation at tight end.

Questionable despite full practice
Sullivan (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints after logging a full practice Friday.
Analysis: Sullivan followed the same practice schedule as safety Vonn Bell (shoulder), but while Bell was removed from the injury report entirely, Sullivan will carry a questionable tag into Sunday's game. If Sullivan suits up, he could see increased playing time with Hayden Hurst (concussion) ruled out and Tommy Tremble (hip) questionable.

Sullivan (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Analysis: The 27-year-old tight end was able to suit up for the Panthers' Week 13 loss to the Buccaneers, but he still seems to be dealing with a shoulder injury. Sullivan's Week 14 availability will be something to look out for as the week progresses, as Carolina could be without both Tommy Tremble (hip) and Hayden Hurst (concussion) in Sunday's affair.

Injury still lingers
Sullivan (shoulder) was a limited participant during practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Sullivan dealt with a shoulder injury earlier in the season but has been playing through it and has remained absent from the team's injury reports. It's not clear if this is a new injury or something the LSU product aggravated during Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers.

Sullivan (shoulder) didn't participate in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: After logging a full practice Wednesday, Sullivan surprisingly was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.

The Panthers activated Sullivan (hip) from injured reserve Saturday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Sullivan has yet to play in 2023, as he landed on IR prior to the start of the regular season with a hip injury. The fourth-year pro was able to practice in full both Thursday and Friday this week, so despite being questionable for Week 6, he should be good to go for Sunday's contest in Miami, where he'd play a depth role. Sullivan's return is timely because Carolina placed fellow tight end Ian Thomas (calf) on injured reserve in a corresponding move.

Records first career catch
Sullivan played four of the Panthers' 54 offensive snaps in Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Giants and turned his lone target into a 13-yard reception.
Analysis: A healthy scratch Week 1, Sullivan dressed as Carolina's third tight end Week 2. Though Ian Thomas (40 snaps, three targets) served as the Panthers' clear top option at the position against the Giants, Sullivan wasn't far behind No. 2 tight end Tommy Tremble (nine snaps) in terms of usage. Even if he jumps Tremble on the depth chart and if Thomas misses time, Sullivan likely won't rank as a high priority in a weak Carolina passing game.
