Panthers re-sign WR Shelton Gibson to practice squad, place DT on COVID-19 list
The Carolina Panthers just announced a couple of practice squad moves.
First up, defensive tackle Bruce Hector has been placed on the practice squad COVID-19/reserve list. Hector has appeared in 11 games in his NFL career, all with the Eagles from 2018-2019. He hasn’t gotten on the field yet this year. However, he’s frequently been one of the four players that the Panthers have protected from being signed by other teams.
Carolina signed wide receiver Shelton Gibson to take Hector’s place. Gibson was on the squad a few weeks earlier in the season. He’s put in 20 games so far, also all with Philadelphia.
In related news, the team released emergency kicker Taylor Bertolet a couple of days ago. Yesterday, they brought in three free agent kickers who could take his place, including Chandler Catanzaro.
The Panthers are currently on their bye. They will host the Broncos when they return to action Week 14.
