Panthers Activate De’Andre Presley From PUP List, Release Chris Ogbonnaya

(UPDATE: Nov. 4, 6:20 p.m. — Presley was waived Tuesday. He will likely be placed on the Panthers’ practice squad.)

(UPDATE, No. 2: Nov. 5, 6:30 p.m. — Ogbonnaya was re-signed Wednesday.)

The Panthers made a couple roster moves on Monday, activating De’Andre Presley from the physically unable to perform list and releasing running back Chris Ogbonnaya.Presley, who had surgery in August for a stress fracture in his left shin, was put on the PUP list before the season. He returned when he was eligible to practice three weeks ago, and the Panthers had to make a decision about his status this week.Screen Shot 2014-10-15 at 11.29.26 PMHis promotion to the active roster could be temporary. The team may release Presley in hopes of adding him to their practice squad, something that would have been tougher to do if they cut him from the PUP list.A former Appalachian State quarterback and defensive back, Presley was on the Panthers’ practice squad last year as a cornerback. He switched to receiver this offseason, but he was back at defensive back the last two weeks, helping out the depleted defensive backfield.Ogbonnaya, who was added in late September after a rash of injuries at running back, had 14 carries for 50 yards and scored a 1-yard touchdown in Week 5 against the Bears.
