Panthers 2018 season opener countdown: 36 days to go

We are 36 days away from the beginning of the Carolina Panthers 2018 season. That means today we take a closer look at safety Demetrious Cox.Demetrious Cox http://www.carolinapanthersteamonline.com/graham-gano-jersey , SafetyBioHeight: 6’0”Weight: 200 lbsAge: 24College: Michigan StateNFL Experience: 2 yearsDemetrious Cox was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Bengals in May 2017, and the Panthers picked him up off waivers after he was cut by Cincinnati in September. Cox appeared in four games for the Panthers in 2017, logging three tackles as a fill-in for Kurt Coleman’s spot at safety. He suffered an ankle injury in Week 4 that caused him to be inactive for Weeks 5-7, before ultimately being placed on injured reserve in Week 8.Cox will be competing for a roster spot with several new additions to the team—Da’Norris Searcy and Rashaan Gaulden—so it’s unlikely he’ll crack the 53-man roster this year unless he’s willing (and able) to play special teams.
