According to a report by Tom Pelissero at NFL Network, the Panthers have placed punter Michael Palardy on the reserve/non football injury list, ending his 2020 season. He will have surgery on his kicking leg after tearing his ACL earlier this offseason. Palardy plans on returning for the 2021 campaign.
Palardy has been the team’s punter since the 2016 season, playing in 55 games and averaging 45.3 yards per attempt.
There is already a replacement on the roster. Last week, the team signed former South Carolina punter Joseph Charlton to a three-year deal.
