CHARLOTTE — The Panthers will be without one of their top special teams players for at least the next four weeks.
The team put linebacker Claudin Cherelus on injured reserve Friday because of a knee injury.
Cherelus, an undrafted rookie from Alcorn State, has played in six games this season, after being claimed off waivers from the Jets at the cuts to 53.
The move leaves the roster at 52.
