SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The Panthers have made a series of roster moves that began with cornerback Chris Houston's decision to retire.

Carolina signed cornerback T. J. Heath and defensive tackle

Kenny Horsley prior to the team's return to the practice field Wednesday following a day off. The Panthers also waived kicker Matt Wile.

Houston, a second-round draft pick in 2007, signed with the Panthers in June after being out of the league in 2014. Wile, an undrafted rookie from Michigan, saw his second stint with Carolina end after less than a week.

Heath has bounced around the NFL since being signed as an undrafted rookie by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2011. He played in five games as a rookie and appeared in two games for the Miami Dolphins last season. In between, the Jacksonville State product spent time with Cleveland, Buffalo and Cincinnati but didn't appear in any games.

Horsley was signed to a future contract by the Washington Redskins in January – his first NFL opportunity – but was waived in May. A product of Bethel University and Mesabi Range Community College in Minnesota, the Virginia native has played some defensive end and played in the Canadian Football League in 2014.
