For all the talk of Carolina’s secondary this offseason — who would win the Panthers’ No. 2 cornerback spot, how would the two rookies fit in, and so on — there were never really many questions about Da’Norris Searcy.
The Panthers signed Searcy, a 29-year-old former Bills/Titans starter, this offseason to fill the void left by Kurt Coleman, and for much of training camp, he aptly filled that role. But then an odd hit against Miami in the team’s second preseason game stunted that progress, as Searcy left the game in the concussion protocol.
He finally returned Tuesday.
