The Carolina Panthers have placed wide receiver Damiere Byrd on injured reserve after he suffered an arm injury on Sunday against Seattle.
Cam Newton sat at his locker for several minutes after Sunday’s game, his elbows resting on his knees and his hands cupped firmly around the back of his head while staring motionless at the floor.
Ben Roethlisberger’s first pass went for a touchdown. His last did the same. And in between the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback and his red-hot team put together systematic 52-21 dismantling of Carolina on Thursday night that left little doubt about their depth and their talent regardless of whether Le’Veon Bell ever shows up for work or not.
Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week, the NFL announced on Wednesday morning.
Eric Reid and Malcolm Jenkins turned the fight for racial and social justice into a skirmish on the field. Reid then went on offense with his postgame comments, calling the Eagles safety and co-founder of The Players Coalition “a sellout.”
Josh Norman bounced back from his prime-time benching by intercepting former teammate Cam Newton and forcing a fumble, and the Washington Redskins held on to beat the Carolina Panthers 23-17 on Sunday.
Carolina Panthers kicker Graham Gano was named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week, the league announced Wednesday.
Following his first game as a Panther, Eric Reid spoke about his decision to protest against police brutality and social injustice by taking a knee for the National Anthem.
Graham Gano connected on all four field goal attempts, including a career-long 63-yarder with 1 second remaining, and Carolina recovered a muffed punt in the end zone for a touchdown to beat the New York Giants 33-31 in a wild game Sunday.
The Carolina Panthers have signed free agent safety Eric Reid to a one-year contract, the team announced Thursday.
