As if the Carolina Panthers needed any more problems on the offensive line, they encountered another one Sunday. Left tackle Matt Kalil was placed on injured reserve. The team signed cornerback Lorenzo Doss to take over the roster spot.
“We’re putting Matt on injured reserve to give him time to fully rehab the knee,” said Panthers general manager Marty Hurney. “We decided to make the move now so he’s eligible to come back after eight games.”
This is a win-win for all parties involved, as they try to make the best of a difficult situation.
