Panthers release initial depth chart for Week 8 matchup vs. Packers

An

early start to the week has brought us an early depth chart for the Carolina Panthers.

The newest ranks were released on Monday, ahead of Thursday night's prime-time contest against the Green Bay Packers.

This afternoon also brought us news on right tackle Taylor Moton—who has been placed on injured reserve after fracturing his fibula in yesterday's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. To take Moton's spot, the Panthers have signed outside linebacker Nick Hampton from their practice squad.
