Luton was cut from the Panthers' practice squad Thursday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Luton has bounced back and forth between Carolina and New Orleans' practice squads this season and rejoined the Panthers on Oct. 25. His exit comes as the team added Deonte Brown back to its practice squad to beef up the offensive line depth.
Carolina signed Luton to its practice squad Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
A little over a week after being cut loose by New Orleans, Luton has now found another opportunity with the Saints' division rival. As long as Bryce Young and Andy Dalton remain healthy though, Luton doesn't have a realistic path to playing time.
The Saints waived Luton on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
With rookie Jake Haener coming off suspension, Luton is no longer needed behind Derek Carr and Jameis Winston. A 2020 sixth-round pick of Jacksonville, Luton hasn't played in a regular-season game since his rookie year when he started three contests, totaling two touchdowns and six interceptions.

Saints' Jake Luton: Returns to New Orleans
Rotowire
The Saints signed Luton off the Panthers' practice squad Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Luton will likely operate as the team's No. 2 quarterback Sunday against the Buccaneers with Jake Haener still serving a six-game suspension and Derek Carr expected to be out with a shoulder injury. The Oregon State product spent time with New Orleans in 2022 and should be familiar with the offense, making him a viable emergency option for the franchise.

Jake Luton: Returns to Carolina
Rotowire
Luton signed with the Panthers' practice squad Wednesday, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
Luton was waived by the team just before rosters were trimmed down to 53 in August. With Bryce Young dealing with an ankle injury, the Oregon State product will likely serve as an option behind Andy Dalton, if Young were to miss, as Carolina didn't previously have a third quarterback on its practice squad or active roster.
Luton was waived by the Panthers on Saturday, Darin Gantt of the team's official website reports.
Luton was the No. 4 quarterback on the Panthers' roster during training camp behind Bryce Young, Andy Dalton (back) and Matt Corral. Thus, he was considered a long shot to land on the team's final 53-man roster. It remains to be seen if he will need to look for a new opportunity elsewhere or if he will get a chance to join Carolina's practice squad.

Rotowire

Luton spent last season with New Orleans' practice squad and signed a reserve/future contract with them in January. However, the Saints no longer had a need for the 27-year-old after signing Derek Carr and drafting Jake Haener in the fourth round of the 2023 draft, so Luton will now look for another opportunity elsewhere.

Jake Luton: Returns to Saints' practice squad
Rotowire
The Saints re-signed Luton to their practice squad Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Luton has been up and down between New Orleans' practice squad and active roster throughout the campaign, so he's already familiar with the organization. Though he was active for two games this season, he has yet to take a snap with the Saints. In fact, Luton hasn't seen NFL game action since 2020 with Jacksonville, so his role is clearly to provide organizational depth in case of an injury to either Andy Dalton or Jameis Winston.
