Per @TheSpecialJuan and panthers.com. He may or may not be missed depending on asking his family or a fan of the panthers.

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 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.

Fleeced? Or Rhule and Fitt are idiots.

    • Brandt's comment about Wharton was from his KC perspective when Wharton was a UDFA rookie.   "it goes back to the anecdote that Brandt Tillis had when he was in Kansas City. And it would be so easy to just cut Turk Wharton in 2020 when he was an undrafted rookie from a division two college in Missouri. It would been so easy to cut him because then he would have cleared waivers easily. No one knew this guy. They didn't have any joint practices, didn't have a preseason. Would have been so easy to cut him and bring him back on the practice squad and let him continue to build from there. And Brandt essentially said, "No, he's got to make the 53man roster if we're going to have any sort sense of credibility with this team."    
    • Plenty of us were scratching our heads about that signing at the time. Especially with our 3-4 defense. Wharton is kind of a one trick pony situational five tech DT. He doesn't have the beef to hold up against the run and he doesn't have the juice to shift outside. He's basically a situational pass rusher DT. If we paid him $40M+ and he can't start for a historically inept defense then holy poo...
    • Agreed.  300 and 2 or 3 total in Jacksonville in a winning effort would sure be a nice start.
