Panthers Designate S Jeremy Chinn to Return from Injured Reserve

Carolina has some help on the way.

The 21-day window for Carolina Panthers safety Jeremy Chinn to return from injured reserve has been opened. Chinn hit IR following the bye week and has missed each of the last four games. 

Through the first six games of the season, Chinn's usage has dropped dramatically from where it was in his first three years in the league. Ejiro Evero explained why he's only been on the field 52% of all defensive snaps this season prior to the injury.

"There is specialized packages for him. We're obviously trying to play him and Troy (Hill) at that nickel position and then have Jeremy in some of the dime positions. Getting more third downs is how we get him on the field obviously and then some of those specialized first and second down deals too. Our execution level, our ability to play the run game better and get into more pass situations is going to allow that to happen."
