The Facts:
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that McCown is expected to miss a month of action due to a sprained foot. So in lieu of holding a roster spot for McCown as he heals, the Panthers have opted to place him on injured reserve. The move means that McCown's 2009 season has ended, after only one game.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Meanwhile, Jason La Canfora of NFL Network reports that the Panthers have an interest in free-agent quarterback A.J. Feeley, presumably as a replacement for McCown. The other quarterback on the Carolina roster is Matt Moore.
