Panthers promote Robert Lester

The Carolina Panthers promoted rookie safety Robert Lester to the active roster from the practice squad.

He replaces Charles Godfrey, who's been placed on injured reserve with a torn Achilles.

The Panthers needed depth at safety since Quintin Mikell could miss a game with an ankle injury.

D.J. Moore (knee) and Mike Mitchell (hamstring) have been dealing with injuries.

Lester played collegiately at Alabama.
