Panthers sign running back C.J. Anderson

CHARLOTTE, NC (WTVD) -- The Carolina Panthers added some depth at running back by signing C.J. Anderson.

The 27-year-old runner inked a one-year contract, giving the Panthers a veteran replacement for Johnathan Stewart, who was released after serving 10 years in Charlotte.

Anderson spent five seasons in Denver, gaining more than 3,000 yards, including a career-high 1,007 yards last season.

His career average is more than 4.4 yards per rush.

In April, the Broncos released Anderson with two years left on his contract.
