Waived by Carolina
The Panthers waived Kirkwood on Tuesday, Darin Gantt of Panthers.com reports.
Analysis: Kirkwood suffered a severe concussion during a training-camp practice, causing him to be taken off the field on a stretcher and immediately sent to the hospital. The move was made without an injury designation, so it appears that he has fully healed from the incident. Kirkwood caught one of two targets for 13 yards during his lone regular-season appearance in 2020 and will likely land on a practice squad during the 2021 campaign.

Early signs are positive
The early signs on Kirkwood's condition are positive after the wideout was taken off the field on a stretcher Tuesday in the wake of a collision during practice, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Analysis: At this stage, it's uncertain how much time Kirkwood might miss, but coach Matt Rhule relayed afterward that the receiver had movement in his extremities and wasn't dealing with pain in his neck area. Kirkwood, who caught one of two targets for 13 yards during his lone regular-season appearance on 2020, is in the mix for a depth slot in the Panthers' WR corps.

Sticking in Carolina
The Panthers re-signed Kirkwood (shoulder) to a one-year deal Monday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Kirkwood only appeared in one contest in 2020, in which he secured one of two targets for 13 yards. He spent most of the season rehabbing from a broken clavicle, which he subsequently re-injured after briefly returning to the lineup Week 6. As a rookie with the Saints back in 2018, Kirkwood had 13 grabs for 209 yards and two scores (all career-high marks) across eight games.

Designated for IR
The Panthers placed Kirkwood (shoulder) on injured reserve Tuesday, Myles Simmons of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Kirkwood spent the first five weeks on IR with a broken clavicle before making his season debut in this past Sunday's loss to the Bears, logging a 51 percent snap share and hauling in one of two targets for 13 yards. The 26-year-old wideout re-injured his left clavicle during the game and will be shut down until a Week 10 matchup against the Buccaneers, at the earliest.

Makes season debut
Kirkwood caught one of two targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Kirkwood made his team debut after missing Carolina's first five games with a broken collarbone. Although he only managed one catch, making minimal impact from a statistical standpoint, it's notable that Kirkwood featured for over half of the Panthers' offensive snaps, trailing only DJ Moore and Robby Anderson among wideouts.

Officially activated
Kirkwood (shoulder) was officially elevated off the Panthers' injured reserve Saturday, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Analysis: Kirkwood suffered a broken clavicle during training camp and has yet to make his debut with Carolina as a result. He is now set to help add depth at receiver for the team while also potentially contributing on special teams.

To be activated from IR
Kirkwood (shoulder) is expected to be activated from injured reserve this week, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The former Saint has yet to make his debut for Carolina after sustaining a broken clavicle during training camp. He was designated to return from injured reserve Sept. 30 upon resuming practice participation, beginning the three-week clock for the Panthers to either place him on season-ending IR or bring him onto the active roster. Carolina elected for the latter option, meaning that Kirkwood will add depth at receiver for the Panthers' top-five passing attack.

Designated to return
Kirkwood (shoulder) is participating in Wednesday's practice, Myles Simmons of the Panthers' official site reports.
Analysis: The Panthers now have a 21-day window to decide whether to bring Kirkwood to the active roster or allow him to revert to season-ending IR. He'll play a depth role at wideout if activated.

Begins season on IR
The Panthers placed Kirkwood (shoulder) on injured reserve Monday, Myles Simmons of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Kirkwood suffered a broken clavicle during training camp and underwent surgery to repair the injury. The 26-year-old receiver won't be eligible to return until the Panthers' Week 4 game versus the Cardinals, which will take place nearly seven weeks after Kirkwood suffered his injury.

Breaks clavicle
Kirkwood broke his clavicle at Sunday's practice, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: After undergoing surgery, Kirkwood "will be out several weeks," per Bill Voth of the team's official site. Like the Panthers' new starting quarterback, Teddy Bridgewater, Kirkwood spent the last two seasons with the Saints. However, Kirkwood's lacking production -- all 13 of his career catches occurred in 2018 -- implies he only has a practice rapport with Bridgewater. Kirkwood's current injury also doesn't help his case for regular-season reps, but at least Week 1 is four weeks in the future,…read more

Existing familiarity in Carolina
Kirkwood (hamstring) should benefit from his existing familiarity with Panthers wide receiver coach Frisman Jackson, fellow wideout Robby Anderson and quarterback Teddy Bridgewater as he heads into his first season with Carolina, Myles Simmons of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Kirkwood spent the past two seasons in New Orleans alongside Bridgewater, while Jackson was his position coach for two of his collegiate seasons at Temple, where he shared a receiver room with Anderson. The 26-year-old was limited to only one game last year due to the hamstring issue before signing with the Panthers this offseason. Now healthy, Kirkwood will compete with Seth Roberts and Pharoh Cooper for the No. 4 spot on the depth chart in camp.

Follows Bridgewater to Carolina
Kirkwood (hamstring) signed a one-year contract with the Panthers on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Kirkwood will follow quarterback Teddy Bridgewater from New Orleans to Carolina, placing himself in a wide receiver corps led by D.J. Moore (concussion) and Curtis Samuel. The 27-year-old was limited to just one game in 2019 due to a hamstring injury, but when fully healthy he stands to be in the mix to compete for the Panthers' No. 3 or No. 4 receiver gig.

Season over
Kirkwood (hamstring) will not return this season, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: Kirwood's season is over after New Orleans elected not to activate him. Kirkwood returned to practice in mid-November but failed to show enough to convince the Saints to add him back to the active roster. He suffered a serious hamstring injury back in Week 1.

Designated to return from IR
Kirkwood (hamstring) returned to practice Wednesday, opening a three-week window for the Saints to activate him from IR, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: Kirkwood suffered a serious hamstring injury Week 1 against the Texans, but he's made the necessary strides in recovery. The Saints have until Dec. 4 to activate Kirkwood from IR. However, the 26-year-old wideout is eligible to be activated as soon as Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, although Kirkwood would need to respond superbly to the practice week for that to happen.

Could return this year
Coach Sean Payton said Kirkwood (hamstring) is "doing well," Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. "He's been moving well and running well," Payton said. "We'll keep paying attention to that and keep working with him and getting him to where he's able to play."
Analysis: It sounds like Kirkwood has a shot to return this season. The 25-year-old receiver has been on injured reserve since Week 3, and he's eligible to be activated from IR before Week 13's matchup against the Falcons. Kirkwood contributed 15 catches for 217 yards and three touchdowns over nine games last year, including one playoff contest, so he could add solid depth upon return.
