5 fringe Carolina Panthers players who need to show out at Colts
By Dean Jones
Josh Bynes – Carolina Panthers LB
Time is of the essence for the newest member of the Carolina Panthers. Linebacker Josh Bynes was an intriguing pickup by the organization on Wednesday, which improves depth within a positional group that is dealing with injuries to both Denzel Perryman and Clay Johnston ahead of their first preseason fixture.
Bynes boasts far more experience than other additions picked up by the Panthers of late. He is a Super Bowl champion from his days with the Baltimore Ravens and started every game for the Cincinnati Bengals in 2020 without doing enough to earn an extended stay.
One area where Bynes has always stood out is defending the run. Something that Carolina struggled with at times last season.
This signing could indicate that Perryman might take some time coming back from his particular problem. So it’s a real opportunity for Bynes to get his foot back in the door.
