Footballguys view: With Luke Kuechly out again, getting Star Lotulelei will help the front seven create some pressure.

  Panthers | Week 2 Inactives    Sun Sep 20, 11:52 AM

The Carolina Panthers have declared RB Brandon Wegher, RB Cameron Artis-Payne, OT Daryl Williams, LB Luke Kuechly, TE Richie Brockel, DL Star Lotulelei inactive for Week 2.

Footballguys view: Artis-Payne was thought of as the handcuff to Jonathan Stewart, but he can be dropped in all but the most shallow leagues. Kevin Norwood is up at wide receiver this week.

Footballguys view: Hopefully Lotulelei will be back, which could offset the absence of Luke Kuechly if the linebacker is out.

  Panthers | One Panther probable, two out    Fri Sep 11, 01:04 PM

Carolina Panthers C Ryan Kalil (knee) is listed as probable for Week 1. DT Star Lotulelei (foot) and FB/TE Richie Brockel (shoulder) are out for Week 1.

Footballguys view: Lotulelei's absence will help the Jaguars running game and TJ Yeldon, but this still figures to be a defensive-minded low-scoring game.

  Panthers | Richie Brockel sprains shoulder    Sat Aug 22, 09:25 PM

Carolina Panthers TE Richie Brockel (shoulder) left the preseason game against the Miami Dolphins Saturday, Aug. 22, with a left shoulder sprain and will not return.

Footballguys view: Brockel isn't fantasy relevant, as Greg Olsen is the guy to own here. Olsen is a sweet TE1, especially as the receiving options are few and far between. If you wait until Rob Gronkowski and Jimmy Graham are off the board while beefing up other areas, grabbing Olsen in the fifth is great value.

Footballguys view: Darrin Reaves, Chris Ogbonnaya, and Fozzy Whittaker will each get chances to get hot and earn extended playing time with the Panthers' top three running backs out this week.

  Panthers | Might keep four tight ends    Fri Aug 29, 11:38 PM

The Carolina Panthers are deep at tight end, with starting TE Greg Olsen and reserve TEs Ed Dickson, Brandon D. Williams and Richie Brockel projected to make the final 53-man roster. In fact, if they keep four tight eneds, it would likely mean they keep eight offensive linemen instead of nine.

The Carolina Panthers have declared CB Brandon Hogan, DL Frank Kearse, LB Jason Phillips, QB Jimmy Clausen, OL Lee Ziemba, RB Mike Goodson, FB Richard Brockel inactive for Week 10.

Footballguys view: The Panthers are down to four LBs, so look for Chris Johnson to get a lot of carries to attack that weakness today.

Footballguys view: Otah being out is a blow to the offensive line, but Cam Newton has been fine without Otah this year. Goodson is in the doghouse and rookie Kealoha Pilares will return kicks this week.

  Chargers | 19 UDFAs signed    Mon Apr 26, 03:17 PM

The San Diego Chargers have announced they have signed undrafted free-agent WR Seyi Ajirotutu (Fresno State), OT Bradt Bond (Oklahoma State), TE Richard Brockel (Boise State), TE Dajleon Farr (Memphis), WR Richard Goodman (Florida State), OG Jeff Hansen (Montana State), FS Cory Jackson (Maryland), WR Jordyn Jackson (Eastern Oregon), OT Justin Jeffries (Kentucky), P Cort Johnson (West Texas A&M), LB Brandon Lang (Troy State), RB Shawnbrey McNeal (Southern Methodist), OT Ryan Otterson (Wyoming), OT Stephan Richmond (Minnesota), CB Traye Simmons (Minnesota), WR Ernest Smith (Baylor), WR Bryan Walters (Cornell), WR Jeremy Williams (Tulane) and LB Kion Wilson (South Florida). Terms of the contracts were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Seyi Ajirotutu gets to join his college teammate (and first-round pick) Ryan Mathews in San Diego. Our very own Cecil Lammey saw Ajirotutu during the week of practice at the Shrine Game in Orlando earlier this year and came away impressed. Ajirotutu is a smooth strider that can get on top of a defense in a hurry. He was working closely with WR coach Keenan McCardell at that game, and seemed to be a fast learner and hard worker. The rookie may have to stick around on the practice squad, but he has upside to be a quality reserve one day.
