7. P Joseph Charlton
One such rookie has already benefited from an injury to an older player. Michael Palardy suffered an ACL tear and will sit out the 2020 season on reserve. Charlton recently signed a three-year deal with the Panthers, so he’s the next man up. Last season, the punting unit was terrible, allowing more yards per return than any team. Palardy wasn’t the main reason, though. That was mostly on the coverage. Charlton needs to match Palardy’s leg power to keep this unit from falling off the earth.
