Panthers elevate Marco Wilson for Thursday Night Football

Summary

The Carolina Panthers have elevated cornerback Marco Wilson ahead of their Thursday Night Football matchup against the Green Bay Packers. This move comes as the Panthers face a cornerback crisis, with only two healthy players on the 53-man roster due to injuries. Starting cornerbacks Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson are on injured reserve, and Akayleb Evans has also been sidelined. Wilson, who has 37 career starts, will provide depth against a formidable Packers passing attack. The Panthers are trying to bounce back after a heavy loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and will also be without pass rusher Jaelan Phillips and left guard Damien Lewis for the game.
