Herron (undisclosed) has been placed on the Panthers' practice squad injured reserve, Jonathan M. Alexander of The Charlotte Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move appears to have been at least partly made to make room for newly signed veteran receiver Willie Snead. Herron is likely to remain on the practice squad in some capacity unless multiple injuries strike the team's defensive line. The defensive end has a very small chance of making it on the field for the Panthers this season.
