The Carolina Panthers signed a kicker on Friday, and declared veteran placekicker Graham Gano out for Sunday’s game at Cleveland with a left knee injury.
Former Clemson kicker and South Carolina native Chandler Catanzaro was signed to the active roster, and the team placed guard Amini Silatolu (knee) on injured reserve as the corresponding move.
Catanzaro was among a handful of kickers who worked out for the Panthers after Gano missed a second field goal in as many weeks.
But he and his wife, who were most recently in Tampa Bay, got the call on Thursday as they were preparing to move closer to Catanzaro’s Greenville, S.
