SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) Panthers coach Ron Rivera is still looking for someone to step up and claim the team's starting right defensive end spot once occupied by the talented, but troubled Greg Hardy.
On Monday that meant shuffling the depth chart around.
Rivera demoted Frank Alexander, who had been working with the starters, to the third team. Wes Horton, who started 15 games last season, also saw reduced reps.
Rakim Cox, a first-year player from Villanova, worked as the starting right defensive end for most of the afternoon practice session and rookie Arthur Miley also got first-team reps.
