CHARLOTTE -- After waiving guard Landon Turner with a non-football illness, the Panthers have signed a replacement at guard.

Carolina has added 6-foot-4, 304-pound Kofi Amichia to the roster. The Packers selected Amichia, a South Florida product, in the sixth round of the 2017 draft. He didn't make Green Bay's final roster but was signed to the Packers' practice squad, where he spent the entire 2017 season. Amichia joined the Ravens' practice squad during the 2018 season and was with Baltimore until being waived a couple weeks ago.

Amichia joins the team with five more OTA practices remaining and three days of mandatory minicamp still to come.
