He was later claimed off waivers by the Panthers. Carolina re-signed Jordan in May as an unrestricted free agent but he was among their final roster cuts coming out of the preseason.
He caught on with the Packers and spent most of the season on the practice squad.
In 2022, Jordan was active for all 17 games, but did not make a start.
