Ian Thomas Injury: Goes to IR

Carolina placed Thomas (calf) on its injured reserve list Monday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Thomas was forced out of Carolina's last game before its bye early by a calf injury, and now he'll have to sit out for at least the next four contests as he recovers. In the meantime, Feleipe Franks could see an uptick in offensive snaps.
