Carolina Panthers waive J.T. Ibe after vicious hit on Keith Kirkwood (usatoday.com)
After defensive back J.T. Ibe hit wide receiver Keith Kirkwood in practice on Tuesday, leading to him being carted off, the team has acted swiftly.
The Carolina Panthers announced that Ibe has been waived. Ibe was kicked out of Tuesday’s workout after the hit, which left Kirkwood down on the field for near 10 minutes. Practice stalled until the situation was resolved.
Eventually, Kirkwood was taken to an ambulance, but early signs on his health have been positive.
Carolina coach Matt Rhule said via press conference that Kirkwood has movement in his legs and he did not have any pain in his neck.
Ibe signed with the Panthers in April. Tuesday’s practice was the team’s first fully padded practice of training camp.
