Panthers released S Colin Jones.

Jones played 124 games with the Panthers from 2012-2019. He was mostly used as a reserve on defense, but was a stud on special teams. Jones reportedly said he didn’t want to be part of a rebuild with the Panthers. The move saves the team $1.1 million against the cap and leaves just $200,000 in dead cap.

Panthers S Haruki Nakamura is out for the season after aggravating his groin injury in Week 14.

He was placed on injured reserve Tuesday. With Sherrod Martin’s (knee) season over and Charles Godfrey battling a back injury, the Panthers finished last week’s game with D.J. Campbell and Colin Jones at safety. They will have to sign a street free agent for depth. Nakamura was exposed as a subpar starter in his first year with the Panthers. Look for the team to upgrade the position in 2013.

The 49ers drafted sixth-round S Colin Jones with the idea that he’d be a special teams standout.

“There’s a guy that I cannot wait to watch run down on a kickoff, full throttle, running his 4.3,” coach Jim Harbaugh said. The 49ers now have seven safeties on the roster, so Jones will have to open some eyes in camp to stick.
