Shaq Thompson has been placed on injured reserve following an unspecified shoulder injury. I wouldn’t read too much into this as a “season ending injury.” There are two weeks left in the season and any minor nick could outlast what is left of 2018.
Thompson started eleven games for the Panthers this season and appeared in all 14. He will finish the season with 50 tackle, three-and-a-half sacks, and one forced fumble,
Thompson has a shoulder injury. The corresponding move is to promote QB Kyle Allen to the active roster, where he'll back up Taylor Heinicke this Sunday.
