CHARLOTTE – Defensive backs Kevon Seymour and Demetrious Cox had hopes they'd be in action for the first week of the NFL regular season, but neither could have foreseen these circumstances.
Seymour was preparing for his second season with the Bills when he learned he had been traded to the Panthers. Cox was hoping to make Bengals' 53-man roster when the rookie learned Cincinnati had waived him.
Now, they're both trying to learn enough about the Panthers' playbook to be ready to suit up just eight days after their previous employment ended. And the Panthers need them to be ready given their own depth situation.
