Associated Press  

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Carolina Panthers have agreed to terms on a contract with free agent edge rusher Charles Harris, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press. Carolina announced Tuesday that it placed Pro Bowl defensive end Derrick Brown on injured reserve as expected after he hurt his knee in Sunday’s 47-10 season-opening loss to the New Orleans Saints. Running back Mike Boone and defensive back Lonnie Johnson were signed to the 53-man roster and the team waived linebacker Jamie Sheriff. Carolina traded away top edge rusher Brian Burns in the offseason and lost Frankie Luvu to free agency.
