CHARLOTTE – Before injuries last season opened the door for an undrafted rookie named Andrew Norwell to carve out his niche at left guard, that was Amini Silatolu's spot.
Monday night against the Indianapolis Colts, Silatolu was put on the spot when Norwell suffered a hamstring injury.
Silatolu responded to the challenge and could get another opportunity this Sunday against the Green Bay Packers.
"I hadn't played guard in a while, but I was pretty much able to get back into it," said Silatolu, who had been practicing at tackle all season.
