The Panthers are thin along both lines because of injuries, and had to swap out one for the other Saturday to give them enough bodies to play this week.

The team announced they promoted offensive tackle David Foucault from the practice squad. They cut backup defensive end Wes Horton to clear the roster spot.

Foucault stuck on the Panthers’ 53-man roster as an undrafted rookie last year, and started one game against the Saints. But they added line depth this year which kept him from sticking this season.

The problem is, all that depth is hurt at the moment, meaning Foucault will be on the active roster as the third tackle for tomorrow’s game against the Buccaneers.
