Paradis (knee) was diagnosed with a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Paradis' worst fears were confirmed after undergoing further tests, and the Panthers' starting center will miss the remainder of the campaign as a result. This is a big blow for the offensive line, as Paradis is a huge asset for them. Sam Tecklenburg is expected to take over at center, though Pat Elflein is also an option once he recovers from his hamstring injury.

Paradis agreed to terms with the Panthers on a restructured contract Saturday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis

The Panthers have a made a number of similar transactions to free up cap space, including the recent release of multiple veterans, perhaps preparing the team to better pursue hot commodities when free agency opens March.

Paradis is questionable for Sunday's game at Indianapolis due to an illness, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
