52 Jared Norris LB

Norris (toe) was placed on injured reserve Friday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Norris sustained the toe injury at practice last week and did not play against the Giants on Sunday. He'll now require surgery to rectify the issue. Thomas Davis returns from his four-game suspension and will take his place on the 53-man roster.

Norris (toe) was downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Giants, Bryan Strickland of the Panthers' official site reports.

Norris injured his toe at Friday's practice, and it is serious enough to keep him sidelined Sunday. Primarily a special teams contributer, his absence at linebacker does not figure to impact things defensively for the Panthers.

Norris (calf) is participating in training camp, Joseph Person of the Charlotte Observer reports.

Norris spent the final month of the 2017 season on injured reserve with a calf injury. The linebacker seems to be healthy now and will compete for a depth role at linebacker.

The Panthers placed Norris on injured reserve Tuesday with a calf injury, Max Henson of the team's official site reports.

Norris had appeared in 11 of the Panthers' 12 games this season, with all of his snaps coming on special teams. He'll be replaced on the 53-man roster by fellow linebacker Spencer Paysinger, who the team signed to a contract Tuesday.
