Panthers' Troy Hill: Expected to start

Hill is expected to start in place of Jaycee Horn (hamstring) against the Saints on Monday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Hill joined the team Aug. 20 and will now find himself in a starting role with Horn sidelined. The veteran cornerback worked with the Panthers' defensive coordinator, Ejiro Evero while with the Rams, so his familiarity with the system likely will work to his benefit.
