CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- The Carolina Panthers have lost another
linebacker to a season-ending knee injury.
The Panthers placed Landon Johnson on injured reserve Tuesday
and signed linebacker Jordan Senn. Johnson hurt his medial
collateral ligament in Thursday's loss to Miami in his second start
at weakside linebacker after Thomas Davis was lost for the season.
Johnson's injury leaves James Anderson as the likely starter
Sunday at the New York Jets.
Senn adds depth at linebacker but also provides a needed body on
special teams. He played with Indianapolis as an undrafted rookie
in 2008 and was released before the start of this season. Senn was
later re-signed and played in two games before being released
again.
Johnson had 12 tackles in the past two games.
