Rodney Smith - Elevated to active roster Smith (undisclosed) was elevated from the practice squad Saturday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports. Impact Smith played in seven games with the Panthers last season, accumulating 50 total touches and 215 total yards to go along with one touchdown while largely operating as a depth piece thanks to numerous Christian McCaffrey injuries. With the star running back sidelined once again (hamstring), expect Smith to once again operate as a depth back, this time behind Chuba Hubbard and Royce Freeman.
