Panthers Elevate David Long Jr., Jacoby Windmon for Week 18 at Buccaneers

Overview

• Carolina used standard practice-squad elevations to add cornerback David Long Jr. and linebacker Jacoby Windmon to the game-day roster.
• The moves follow final injury report rulings that Robert Rochell (concussion) and Claudin Cherelus (calf/ankle) are out for the regular-season finale.
• Guard Robert Hunt and wide receiver David Moore were not activated from injured reserve and were downgraded to out for Week 18.
• Hunt and Moore remain eligible for activation next week if the Panthers advance to the playoffs.
• The transactions were finalized Friday before the team departed Charlotte for Tampa, reinforcing depth at cornerback and linebacker.
