Carolina Panthers place LB Chandler Wooten on injured reserve

As expected, the Carolina Panthers placed linebacker Chandler Wooten on injured reserve after he sprained his ankle in a loss to the Colts.

The Panthers already had signed Blake Martinez, a linebacker who left the NFL a year ago to see Pokeman collectibles.

Wooten, a kep special teams player, can take a seat on IR next to all the other Carolina linebackers — Yetur Gross-Matos, Justin Houston, Shaq Thompson, and Claudin Cherelus.

Wooden has played on defense for two Panthers game this season. He does get his snaps on special teams. He recovered a muffed punt against the Colts and has made eight tackles this season.

Besides Martinez, the Panthers made other rosters moves at linebacker. Outside linebacker Marquis Haynes returned to practice Monday. That opened the 21-day window for Carolina to bring him back to the active roster.
