Thompkins (hamstring) was waived from the Panthers' injured reserve list after reaching an injury settlement with the team Saturday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
The third-year wideout reverted to the Panthers' IR on Monday after being waived/injured Sunday, and the team has now officially decided to part ways with Thompkins. With the injury settlement agreed upon, Thompkins is free to sign elsewhere once he recovers from his hamstring issue.
