On September 1st, alright, let's talk about some roster moves over with the Carolina Panthers. They've officially put offensive lineman Brady Christensen on injured reserve. This means he's sidelined for at least the first four games of the season, dealing with a hamstring issue. Now, this isn't the first injury hurdle for Christensen. His last season was cut short by a torn Achilles, though he did manage to play through the preseason, including their final game last Friday. It's tough when you're battling back from something serious like that. With Christensen out, the Panthers have opened up a spot on the roster. They've used it to officially bring in linebacker Bobby Ocarochi. He eans his one-year deal just yesterday, so he's now part of the squad. Ocaricae is a season vet, 30 years old. He spent the last three seasons with the New York Giants, and before that, he had four years with the Indianapolis Colts, who originally drafted him in the third round. He brings a good amount of experience to the defense. So it's a bit of a shuffle for the Panthers, dealing with an injury to a key offensive lineman, while bringing in a new linebacker

to bolster their defense. We'll see how these changes shake out as the season gets underway. Football news, powered by AI. This is NFL News Today. I'm Corey with the story.
