SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Bruce DeHaven is transitioning to the role of senior advisor to special teams. In this new role, the former special teams coordinator will assist in game planning and advance work while returning to his home in Buffalo to receive cancer treatment.
“Bruce is going to return home and he’s going to continue with his therapy as he battles cancer,” head coach Ron Rivera said. “Bruce wanted to do this. He felt now was the opportunity for us to transition.”
Rivera said the hope is that DeHaven will return to Charlotte for the home opener against the San Francisco 49ers.
