"For a guy who teammate Jordan Gross said was playing offensive line on the scout team at practice last week, former N.C. State defensive tackle DeMario Pressley made the most of his first playing time with the Panthers. Pressley, who was added to the active roster Friday after receiver Legedu Naanee was placed on injured reserve, finished with five tackles, tying him for fourth on the team. The Panthers are the third stop for Pressley this season. He was previously on the practice squad in Indianapolis and Denver. He played for New Orleans for parts of three seasons beginning in 2008 before joining Houston in 2010. "It was kind of weird," Pressley said of his sudden role change with the Panthers. "I was hoping I could get one week just before the end of the season. I've been like four or five places. I want to make Carolina home. I'm from (Greensboro)." Pressley is hopeful his brief time with the Panthers will stretch into next season. "
