Panthers put Kelvin Benjamin on IR; waive Melvin White, Robert Lester

The Panthers have reached the 75-man limit with a series of moves on Tuesday afternoon.

Some of the moves were expected, like placing wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin on injured reserve as a result of the torn ACL he suffered in August. The team also confirmed that they have parted ways with wideout Jarrett Boykin after swinging a deal with the Seahawks for Kevin Norwood.

The Panthers also waived cornerback Melvin White and safety Robert Lester. White, who has an injured designation after hurting his hamstring, made 17 starts over the last two seasons but lost his job with the first team last year.
