Boston ready and waiting in the wings

CHARLOTTE – Last year, safety Tre Boston was making big plays late in the season to help Carolina win the division and claim its first playoff victory since 2005.

This year, Boston is taking a back seat on a team that’s 9-0.

After starting five regular season games and both postseason games as a rookie, Boston’s opportunities have been limited in his second season.

His snaps have fluctuated from game to game. In last week’s win at Tennessee, he played 17 snaps on defense to give veteran Roman Harper some rest. A week prior against Green Bay, his only action come on special teams.
