Tre’von Moehrig could turn the Panthers’ injury problem into a blitz opportunity

Garrett Klaus of Cat Crave argues that Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero could utilize safety Tre'von Moehrig as an extra pass rusher against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Panthers face severe depth issues at edge rusher, with Jaelan Phillips sidelined by a hamstring injury, Thomas Incoom dealing with a calf issue, and Nic Scourton out for the season.

Moehrig previously recorded two pressures and half a sack against Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Tanner McKee in Week 6. Klaus notes that while blitzing secondary players carries coverage risks, Moehrig's versatility gives Carolina creative options to manufacture pressure alongside linebackers Devin Lloyd and Bobby Okereke.
