Michael Jordan

CHARLOTTE — The Panthers added some offensive line depth Wednesday, claiming guard Michael Jordan off waivers from the Bengals.

Jordan, a former fourth-round pick from Ohio State, started 19 games for Cincinnati the last two seasons.

The 6-foot-6, 315-pound Jordan played guard and center in college where he earned first All-America honors in 2018. He played in all 41 possible games from from 2016-18 for Ohio State.

And yes, there's another guy with the same name here in town, but it's not that one.
