The Carolina Panthers defense will look familiar when the Denver Broncos host the NFC South opponent in Week 8.
Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero held the same role with the Broncos in 2022, and he recruited four former Denver defenders to Carolina.
The roster is headlined by inside linebacker Josey Jewellwho started 58 games for the Broncos from 2018 to 2023. Carolina also has an outside linebacker Thomas Incoumwho spent last season in Denver.
The Panthers also have two former Broncos defensive linemen. By Shawn Williams (2018; 2019; 2020-2022) and Jonathan Harris (2019-2023), which just landed in Charlotte earlier this week.
Additionally, Carolina also has a former Denver running back. Mike Boone on the practice squad. Sunday will be a bit of a homecoming game for these five players and Evero.
