Carolina waived former Wake Forest standoutJammie Deese, placed linemen Silas Demary (leg), Carl Reeves (elbow) andMatt Norwood (thumb) on injured reserve, and activated linemen Chris Mintzand Allen Mogridge along with defensive specialist Robert Williams.
Demary, one of the Cobras most valuable lineman with 4.0 sacks on defenseand 10 catches for 114 yards and three touchdowns on offense, will mostlikely miss the rest of the season after breaking his right tibia on thefinal play of the game last week in a 58-52 overtime loss to Houston.Reeves and Norwood will miss at least two weeks each.
The good news for the Cobras is they get three quality football players backfrom injured reserve. Mintz has missed the last seven games with an ankleinjury, while Mogridge (concussion) and Williams (knee) have both missed thelast three games. Williams still leads the club in interceptions (4)despite playing in just seven contests this season.
Carolina (6-4) holds a 1/2 game lead over the Buffalo Destroyers (6-5) inthe National Conference Eastern Division. Toronto (4-6) is two games backbut is still in the hunt for one of 12 playoff spots that are available inthe Arena Football League post-season.
Heading into this week's action, theCobras are ranked No. 8 with four games remaining.
