  3. WR Tre Nixon
  4. DL Jeremiah Pharms Jr
  5. DL LaBryan Ray (Injured)
  6. TE Matt Sokol

Hayes, 25, wound up going undrafted out of Appalachian State back in May of 2019. He later signed a three-year, $1.755 million contract with the Jaguars, but was waived coming out of the preseason.

From there, Hayes had stints with the Dolphins, Vikings and Cardinals before returning to the Panthers. He’s been on and off of their practice squad ever since. 

In 2022, Hayes has appeared in five games for the Panthers and recorded three tackles and no interceptions.
