Ex-Enemy Joins Panthers

Tackle Kenyatta Walker was despised by Panthers players during his six-year tenure in Tampa Bay.  Now many of those same players will call Walker a teammate.  The Panthers signed the former first-round pick earlier in the week to bolster their depth on the offensive line.  Walker drew the ire of members of the Carolina defense for a perceived dirty block that ended ex-Panther Kavika Pittman’s season in 2003.  But Walker says he can put the past behind him and is happy to be in Carolina.   The Panthers will practice at 9:45 this morning in Spartanburg.  Carolina will play its second preseason game Friday night at Philadelphia.  Coach John Fox says the starters will play into the second quarter.
