CHARLOTTE, N.C.  -- The Carolina Panthers have placed left tackle Jordan Gross on season-ending injured reserve, but for now have decided not to replace him with another offensive lineman.

Receiver Charly Martin was promoted from the practice squad on Tuesday, giving the Panthers another option in the return game.

Gross, a 2008 Pro Bowl pick, broke his right ankle in the second quarter of Sunday's win over Atlanta and underwent surgery later that night.

Travelle Wharton moved from left guard to Gross' position, and second-year pro Mackenzy Bernadeau played left guard against the Falcons. The Panthers are expected to stick with that lineup in Thursday's game against Miami.

The Panthers have eight offensive linemen left on the roster.
