The Panthers announced on Saturday that they are placing veteran LB Justin Houston on injured reserve.
The team also signed S Matthias Farley to their active roster and elevated LB Eku Leota from the practice squad for Week 9.
Houston, 34, is a former third-round pick of the Chiefs back in 2011. He was entering the fifth year of his six-year, $101 million contract that included $52.5 million guaranteed when the Chiefs released him.
The Colts later signed Houston to a two-year, $24 million contract in 2019. After playing out that deal, he signed a one-year deal worth up to $4 million with the Ravens in July of 2021. Baltimore re-signed him using the unrestricted free-agent tender in 2022. He then caught on with the Panthers before the start of the 2023 season.
In 2023, Houston has appeared in six games for the Panthers and recorded nine tackles and half a sack.
We will have more news on Houston as it becomes available.
