Cason led the Panthers with nine tackles (all solo) and also intercepted a pass in Sunday's season opening win over the Buccaneers. Cason performed admirably in his Panthers debut, providing strong run support while also leading the team with two passes defended, including an interception. As Carolina's No. 1 cornerback, Cason could benefit from the Panthers' stout front-seven forcing quarterbacks into ill-advised throws this season, but he should have his hands full against Lions' wideout Calvin Johnson next Sunday.
