The Carolina Panthers made a pair of additions to their active roster ahead of tomorrow’s NFC South showdown against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
As announced on Saturday afternoon, the team has signed quarterback Jack Plummer and running back Mike Boone up from their practice squad.
Boone’s signing comes after the Panthers placed starting running back Chuba Hubbard on injured reserve earlier this morning. Hubbard, who rushed for career-highs in yards (1,195) and touchdown (10), will now miss the final two games of the season due to a calf strain.
With Hubbard shelved, Boone is expected to help shoulder the load out of the backfield alongside Raheem Blackshear. The seventh-year veteran has rushed for 22 yards on seven carries over four games in 2024.
Plummer, an undrafted rookie out of the University of Louisville, has spent the entire regular season on the team’s practice squad. The 25-year-old appeared in all three of the Panthers’ preseason contests, passing for 406 yards and two touchdowns.
Carolina also elevated veteran defensive lineman DeShawn Williams from the practice squad.
