The have their first game without Frank Reich as head coach this week. Naturally, Carolina is getting reinforcements on defense.Three starters are back on Carolina's defense Jonathan Villar Jersey this week, as the Panthers activated cornerback , defensive back , and outside linebacker from injured reserve on Saturday. Horn has been out since Week 1 with a hamstring Trevor Richards Jersey injury while Chinn has been out since October with a quad injury.The Panthers secondary hasn't been limping without them, ironically. Carolina is second in the in pa s yards allowed (179.6), but only have five interceptions (29th in Jazz Chisholm Jersey NFL). Carolina is last in the NFL with seven takeaways, so Horn and Chinn's presence should help in that department. Whether Horn plays or not is to be determined, but Carolina had to activate him before Monday from injured reserve as his 21-day Martin Prado Jersey practice window expired. Horn was limited in Friday's practice, so he'll be a game-time decision.Gro s-Matos had 2.5 sacks and five quarterback hits in six Jarlin Garcia Jersey games with Carolina as he transitioned to linebacker in a 3-4 defense. He's also been out since October. Chris Tabor, the special teams coordinator under Reich, was promoted to the interim head coach after Reich's firing.
