Wideout Jonathan Mingo placed on IR with foot injury

To fill his spot on the active roster, the Panthers also signed guard J.D. DiRenzo from the practice squad.

DiRenzo had used his three practice squad elevations the last three weeks, so the undrafted rookie from Rutgers needed to be added to the 53-man roster to play this week.

The Panthers also signed veteran running back Mike Boone to the practice squad. Boone has spent time with the Broncos and Vikings and was with the Texans this year before being released in Week 16.
