The Panthers signed Plummer to their practice squad Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Plummer appeared in all three of Carolina's preseason contests this year, throwing for 406 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. Now that the Louisville product has returned to the Panthers, he could very well serve as the team's emergency third quarterback in his rookie season.

Jack Plummer: Let go by Carolina
Rotowire
The Panthers waived Plummer on Tuesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
The undrafted rookie out of Louisville had a strong preseason finale against the Bills, going 21 of 29 passing for 278 yards (9.6 YPA) and two touchdowns, but it wasn't enough to win a job behind Bryce Young and Andy Dalton. Carolina may try to sneak Plummer through waivers and onto the practice squad.

Panthers' Jack Plummer: Throws for 86 yards Thursday
Rotowire
Plummer completed 11 of 21 pass attempts for 86 yards and rushed twice for four yards during Thursday's 17-3 preseason loss to the Patriots.
With Bryce Young and Andy Dalton sitting out Thursday, Plummer was the Panthers' top quarterback. It was a rough game for Carolina's entire offense, and Plummer wasn't helped by his supporting cast, as he was sacked five times and dealt with drop issues from both Jonathan Mingo and Terrace Marshall. Plummer definitely left more to be desired after his performance Thursday, but he'll likely have the opportunity to continue competing for Carolina's No. 3 quarterback spot as the preseason progresses.
