Upset alert

The team waived defensive tackle Jaden Crumedy and signed outside linebacker Trevis Gipson off the 49ers practice squad. The 28-year-old Gipson has appeared in 59 games during his career, with 11.0 sacks. He was most recently active with the 49ers, playing in three games and recovering a fumble. Originally a fifth-round pick of the Bears out of Tulsa, he's also spent time with the Jaguars and Seahawks. They also brought back rookie offensive tackle Michael Tarquin to the practice squad. He was here throughout the offseason and training camp and was released from the practice squad last week. To make room for him, they released practice squad cornerback Michael Reid. https://www.panthers.com/news/panthers-make-a-change-on-defense-add-outside-linebacker-trevis-gipson

The kiss of death

Trevis Gipson CARDefensive Lineman#56 Panthers signed EDGE Trevis Gipson off the 49ers’ practice squad. Gipson had actually been one of San Francisco’s main outside players last week while they dealt with injuries, but figures to play a backup role in Carolina. It’s another blow for a 49ers defensive line group that struggled to rush the passer against the Texans last week.

Great stuff thanks

Best of the defense 1. DL Derrick Brown: 70.2 2. S Lathan Ransom: 69.8 3. CB Mike Jackson: 69.4 4. ILB Claudin Cherelus: 66.9 5. ILB Christian Rozeboom: 60.4 Carolina allowed 216 rushing yards and two touchdowns to Bills running back James Cook, so there wasn't much run defense to speak of.

Perfect timing. He's certainly a better option than Jake Curhan
