Carolina Panthers CB Ross Cockrell (leg) was carted off in practice with a left leg injury Monday, July 30. Head coach Ron Rivera ended practice abruptly due to the potentially serious injury.
| Footballguys view: Cockrell was a leading candidate to start at cornerback for the Panthers. They don't have depth at the position and could chase after Bashaud Breeland again after he failed a physical the first time they tried to sign him. It's not a good place to be for a team that faces deep passing attacks in the NFC South. |
