Way back in May I wondered about cutting veteran lineman and 30-game starter Keydrick Vincent loose. Within weeks Tampa Bay had snapped him up. Now six weeks into the season the Panthers have benched Vincent’s replacement, Mackenzy Bernadeau.
Geoff Schwartz slides down from RT to make his first RG start elevating undrafted, second year player Garry Williams to RT starter. Jeff Otah — it seems — is going to miss at least half this season with a mysterious inability to recover from a December knee surgery. The Panthers simply assumed that Otah would be back, making Vincent expendable in their minds.
