CHARLOTTE — The Panthers had an injury lead to a roster move Saturday, and for a change, it wasn't in the secondary.

The team placed tight end Ian Thomas on injured reserve Saturday because of a calf injury.

Thomas was added to the injury report Friday.

The veteran tight end has two catches for 36 yards this season, but his value has been as a blocker in the run game throughout his career.

To fill the roster spot, they activated tight end Stephen Sullivan from injured reserve. He's practiced the last two weeks and was a full participant in Friday's practice. He was needed this week, since tight end Giovanni Ricci was already ruled out with a shoulder injury, leaving just Hayden Hurst and Tommy Tremble there.

He's fuging terrible. Imagine making as much money as he had to be that terrible at something. Sweet gig.

[LinvilleGorge]

We have two TEs paid like legit starters while getting terrible production out of the position. Nice job, Fitts!

He will be released next year and we will save 3mil. Don’t be mad at him he fleeced our front office.  That’s on them. Never showed them much and still got a decent contract. Even when he’s back we should give all the snaps to Hurst and Tremble who will be on the roster next year.

Need to be put on the unemployed list

I remember people making excuses and supporting the decision to resign him to that ridiculous extension all because he could “block” allegedly. 
What is this? 1975?

Fleeced? Or Rhule and Fitt are idiots.

Like someone said, everyone will be on IR by week 10

Knowing his soft ass, he got blasted by a 180lb DB and got hurt. Hopefully, this is the last we will see him in a Panthers uniform.
