Jordan started 10 games in 2021 for the Panthers after they claimed him off of waivers from the Cincinnati Bengals. He did not make any starts for the team in 2022, but played in all 17 of their games and scored the first touchdown of his football career when he recovered a fumble in the end zone in their season finale against the New Orleans Saints.

Having gone unsigned for nearly two months after the start of free agency, Jordan projects as a backup for the Panthers once again in 2023 and will likely have to compete to keep his spot on the roster during the preseason.
Entering his fifth year in the NFL, Jordan is one of three Buckeyes currently on the Panthers’ roster along with safety Vonn Bell – who also previously played for the Bengals before joining the Panthers this offseason – and wide receiver C.J. Saunders.
