Placed on reserve/DNR list Layne (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/did not report list Friday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official website reports.

Unavailable Week 15 Layne (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Impact Layne is now slated to miss this weekend's matchup versus Philadelphia due to a coach's decision. He's primarily operated as a special-teams contributor thus far in 2022, so his absence shouldn't greatly alter Chicago's defensive game plan Sunday.

Picked up by Chicago The Bears claimed Layne off waivers Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Impact Layne was a 2019 third-round draft pick by Pittsburgh and spent his first three NFL campaigns with the Steelers. He played in all 17 games last season but was used primarily on special teams. The same can be said for his usage in 2022, as he's played in seven games for the Giants but mainly as a special-teams contributor. There's a shot that Layne will be able to rejuvenate his defensive career in Chicago.

Forces another turnover Layne recorded two tackles (one solo) and an interception in Thursday's 24-16 preseason win over the Eagles.

Impact Layne didn't make much of an impact during offseason work and has had inconsistent performances early in training camp, but he's been effective during the Steelers' first two preseason games. The 2019 third-rounder forced a fumble in last week's Hall of Fame Game and brought in an interception during the third quarter Thursday. Layne is a solid special-teams contributor and is making the case for more defensive work with his strong showings early in the preseason.
