The Carolina Panthers are coming off their bye to face the Houston Texans in Week 8, and the injury update ahead of that game is a mix of players, including safety Jeremy Chinn, pass rusher Yetur Gross-Matos and offensive lineman Austin Corbett.
“The Panthers have placed three players on injured reserve, ruling them out for the next four weeks,” the team’s website said Tuesday afternoon. “That group includes defensive back Jeremy Chinn (quadriceps), outside linebacker Yetur Gross-Matos (hamstring) and tight end Giovanni Ricci (shoulder).”
However, there were injury updates for the Panthers after the bye week and before Week 8 against the Texans.
“Right guard Austin Corbett has been activated from the physically unable to perform list,” the report said. “Heand has been practicing for the past three weeks after recovering from a torn ACL suffered in the regular season finale last year.”
To fill out the remaining two roster spots after losing Chinn, Gross-Matos and Ricci and bringing up Corbett, the team acquired offensive tackle Brett Toth and outside linebacker Luiji Vilain from the practice squads of the Philadelphia Eagles and Minnesota Vikings. The return of Austin Corbetand is key for Bryce Young
