Panthers DT Tyler on season-ending IR now

The Carolina Panthers made quick moves really. Placing defensive tackle Tank Tyler on injured reserve Friday, the team then had Tyler’s replacement by claiming Derek Landri off waivers from the Jacksonville Jaguars soon later on the same day.

Which ended Tyler’s season was a knee injury which he suffered during last Sunday’s loss to the New York Jets. The Panthers had to be quick as they have learned quite a lot from losing the 10 players to injuries for season.

Comparing to Tyler, who made 13 tackles in six games he played in the Panthers jersey after being acquired from the Kansas City Chiefs, 6-foot-2, 290-pound Landri appeared in just seven games and made 13 tackles while playing in Jaguars jersey, being listed inactive for the past four weeks
