Report: Safety Donte Whitner to workout for Panthers Friday
Charlotte, N.C. — Former Pro Bowl safety Donte Whitner will be in Charlotte Friday for a workout with the Carolina Panthers, according to multiple reports.
Whitner’s presence likely poses no threat to starting safeties Kurt Coleman and Tre Boston, but the team’s depth has recently been depleted due to injury.
Trenton Richardson underwent surgery to repair his pec earlier this week, and Dean Marlowe continues to nurse a hamstring injury.
Carolina rookie cornerback Daryl Worley stepped in at safety last week for a few plays during the team’s preseason matchup against the Tennessee Titans after Marcus Ball left the game with an injury.
