Panthers Promote Two from Practice Squad for Cowboys Matchup
The Carolina Panthers have elevated two players from their practice squad ahead of their upcoming matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. This move comes as the team navigates injury challenges within its roster.
Player Elevation Details
This marks the third and final elevation for Walton this season. To participate in another game, he must be signed to the 53-man roster. His promotion is essential given the current needs of the offensive line.
Impact of Player Injuries
Right tackle Taylor Moton is sidelined this week due to an elbow injury. In Moton’s absence, Yosh Nijman is set to start. With only eight offensive linemen available on the active roster, Walton’s elevation is a crucial addition.
Overview of Elevated Players
- Walton: Third elevation; needs to be signed to 53-man roster for future participation.
- Crossen: Recently added to the practice squad; experienced special teams player.
As the Panthers prepare for their game against the Cowboys, these roster decisions highlight the strategic adjustments teams make in response to injuries and availability. The ability to elevate practice squad members is vital for maintaining a competitive edge.
