Omar Bayless: Designated for waivers

Bayless (knee) was waived by the Panthers on Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Bayless looked like he had a chance to make the 53-man roster last season before knee surgery landed him on injured reserve. The 24-year-old posted 93 receptions for 1,653 yards and 17 touchdowns across 13 games for Arkansas State in 2019. He'll continue to fine-tune his craft on the practice squad if he clears waivers.
