CHARLOTTE – The Panthers on Saturday made a handful of roster moves ahead of Sunday's home matchup with the Lions.

Linebacker Chris Orr was signed to the active roster, one week after making his career debut against Tampa Bay. Orr was a COVID-19 elevation last week and saw five snaps on defense and 20 on special teams.

In a corresponding move, the Panthers waived Sean Chandler, a safety who was inactive the past three weeks during his stay on the 53-man roster.

The Panthers also activated defensive back Natrell Jamerson from the practice squad in a standard COVID-19 elevation for Week 11, and they signed kicker Taylor Bertolet and linebacker Daniel Bituli to the practice squad after releasing wide receiver Shelton Gibson from the practice squad on Friday.
