Michael Griffin adds to options at safety

CHARLOTTE – The Panthers didn't get the result on the scoreboard they hoped for last week when they experimented with their safety rotation, but the outcome of one game and outlook for an entire season aren't the same thing.

Head coach Ron Rivera said he's encouraged by what veteran addition Michael Griffin showed and expects to see more of the same from Griffin and the group when the Panthers host Tampa Bay on Monday Night Football.

Kurt Coleman is the rock of the unit, having played all 67 defensive snaps in Carolina's 48-33 loss to Atlanta.
