The Panthers are signing former Redskins and Raiders defensive tackle Stacy McGee, according to a report by Adam Schefter at ESPN.
The team needed more interior defensive line depth with Dontari Poe suffering a quad injury in Sunday’s loss to the Saints. Josina Anderson has reported Poe had surgery scheduled for this morning, which would end his 2019 season.
McGee (6-foot-3, 339 pounds) played his college football at Oklahoma then got picked by Oakland in the sixth round of the 2013 NFL draft. After four years with the Raiders, he moved on to Washington, where he played the last two seasons.
In 75 career games (29 starts), McGee has totaled four sacks, 14 quarterback hits and six tackles for a loss.
