Panthers S Jeremy Chinn activated to 53-man roster
Earlier Saturday, the Carolina Panthers passed down some bad news about defensive back Myles Hartsfield- who will miss Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. But some (major) help is back on the way.
The team announced late Saturday afternoon that safety Jeremy Chinn has been activated to the 53-man roster. Chinn had missed the better part of the last six weeks due to a hamstring injury.
The setback occurred early on in the Week 4 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals, when the third-year defender was removed from the outing following just six snaps. He'd later be placed on injured reserve and sat out the next six contests as a result.
Chinn had 20 tackles in four starts before getting hurt.
The Panthers also signed linebacker Joel Iyiegbuniwe to the active roster while also elevating cornerback T.J. Carrie and defensive tackle Phil Hoskins from the practice squad. Linebacker Arron Mosby has been waived to make room.
