According to multiple reports the Carolina Panthers made some roster moves this afternoon when they placed cornerback Ross Cockrell on injured reserve and picked up offensive tackle Adam Bisnowaty, who was waived by the Lions yesterday. Bisnowaty is a former sixth round pick of the New York Giants (2017).
Panthers place CB Ross Cockrell on IR, claim OT Adam Bisnowaty off waivers from DET. Bisnowaty, hurt for much of his career at Pitt, was 6th-round pick of Giants in 2017.

The Panthers’ decision to pick up Bisnowaty is likely two-fold.
