Cox (ankle) was placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list Wednesday, Joe Person of the Charlotte Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cox remains in recovery from a severe ankle injury he sustained last September. There's no telling when he'll be back on the field. When healthy, the 24-year-old will compete for a depth role in the Panthers secondary.

The Panthers placed Cox (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The team was forced to make the move in order to add another player to the roster. The 23-year-old had been sidelined with an ankle injury since Week 4. He will end his season with four solo tackles across four games.

Cox (ankle) didn't practice Friday and won't suit up for Sunday's game against the Bears, Bryan Strickland of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cox is set to miss his third consecutive game, and the last time he played he racked up four solo tackles over 38 defensive snaps in New England. Expect Colin Jones and Jairus Byrd to continue to see an increase in snaps in Cox's absence.

Cox (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup with the Eagles, Joe Person of the Charolette Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cox was not able to practice Monday and Tuesday and will now miss his second straight contest as a result. Dezmen Southward, who was promoted to the active roster Friday, could see an increase in special team reps given Cox's absence.

Cox (ankle) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Lions, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cox earned his first defensive snaps (38) against the Patriots in Week 4, racking up four solo tackles. Regardless, he still lines up as the No. 4 defensive end for Carolina and shouldn't be seen as a long-term IDP option.
