Panthers elevate Gabe Jackson, Chris Wormley for Week 14

The Carolina Panthers seem to be set with their starting guards for Week 14. But that hasn’t stopped them from bringing along some extra help.

As reported by Darin Gantt of Panthers.com this afternoon, the team has elevated guard Gabe Jackson for their Week 14 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. The 32-year-old veteran was signed to the practice squad on Nov. 29.

Jackson, a third-round selection from the 2014 NFL draft, has registered nine pro seasons—all between the Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders and the Seattle Seahawks. He’s made 130 starts over 131 games in his career.

Interim head coach Chris Tabor told reporters on Friday that he expects Justin McCray and undrafted rookie Nash Jensen to start at the guard positions. Jackson will provide some much-needed depth on the interior—a spot that has lost Brady Christensen, Austin Corbett and Chandler Zavala for the remainder of the season.

Carolina also elevated defensive lineman Chris Wormley, who will be making his third trip up to the roster. He played in 17 defensive snaps between Week 12 and Week 13.
