CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers running back Fozzy Whittaker has been placed on injured reserve after suffering a torn ACL during Monday's noncontact running drill in Phase 2 of offseason workouts.
Whittaker, in the last year of a two-year deal, has been mostly a third-down back and return specialist for the Panthers the past four seasons. He has 536 yards rushing on 121 carries and 397 yards receiving for Carolina.
The move came three days after Carolina signed former Denver Broncos running back C.J. Anderson to a one-year deal.
