The Carolina Panthers will be facing one of the most productive passing offenses in football on Sunday. So, with a banged-up secondary in tow, they’ve called up some much needed reinforcements.
As announced by the team on Saturday afternoon, cornerback Dicaprio Bootle and safety Matthias Farley have been moved from the practice squad to the active roster. The call-ups for the Week 4 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings are standard elevations.
