The Carolina Panthers (6-5) placed wide receiver Damiere Byrd on injured reserve on Tuesday afternoon, essentially ending his 2018 season, a league source told the Observer.

The team later confirmed the move.

With a roster spot open, the Panthers promoted cornerback Lorenzo Doss from the practice squad.

Byrd, 25, has only played 44 offensive snaps this year and has gotten the majority of his work on special teams, where he’s played 96 snaps. In 2018, Byrd has had 11 punt returns for 104 yards.
