Next Man Up - Analyzing the Defensive Depth

A look into the bottom of the Carolina Panthers' depth chart to see who would have to step up and fill in if an injury occurs to the starter.

Injuries can derail any team's season, change elite units into pedestrian performers, but this season the Carolina Panthers have one of the deepest rosters in the league. The Panthers' General Manager, Dave Gettleman, has been quietly assembling a quality roster by drafting well, resigning his own guys, and most importantly accumulating savvy veterans who have starting experience to bolster the depth chart. Today we will look at who will be called into action if the starter happens to go down on defense, and how comfortable the team should feel about them.
