The Panthers have claimed linebacker Jason Phillips off waivers from the Baltimore Ravens.
A fifth-round pick out of TCU in 2009, the 6-foot-1, 236-pound Phillips had five tackles (four on special teams) in nine games in 2010, but was inactive for the Ravens’ regular season-opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Thomas Davis, who tore his ACL against Green Bay, has been placed on injured reserve, clearing a spot on the 53-man roster for Phillips.
