Josh Hawkins is without a job this week, and it appears it is all his fault.

The Carolina Panthers practice squad player seen dancing in a crowded restaurant without a mask this weekend, and by the time Monday came around, he would be jobless.

The Panthers announced Monday that they released him in addition to wide receiver Seth Roberts.

Photos and video of Hawkins dancing at a Charlotte restaurant gained social media attention because of his lack of a mask.

When asked if the move was related, Matt Rhule wouldn’t comment specifically. Said it was done in best interest of the team. pic.twitter.com/rVUeAdK2ux

So @Nikki704 told me I needed to watch some IG stories from Nikko over the weekend. You all need to see them too. Especially you @MeckCounty @ncdhhs. We just extended Phase 3 and these idiots are taking us back to before we had phases. WTF pic.twitter.com/dAuMs8HjrS
