The Panthers have announced that running back Kenjon Barner has been placed on injured reserve and guard Dorian Johnson has been activated from the practice squad to replace him on the 53-man roster.
Kenjon Barner goes to IR and Panthers promote Dorian Johnson - he might see some time at RG, Rivera indicated.

This move makes sense with Trai Turner being ruled out for Sunday’s season finale in New Orleans and Marshall Newhouse being listed as questionable.
