Panthers coach John Fox has decided to shake up the lineup of his 1-10 team.

$6 million cornerback Chris Gamble was benched to start Sunday’s game against the Browns because of a “coach’s decision.” Translation: he could join Fox in free agency this offseason. Gamble later entered the game and was called for a pass interference.

The Panthers and Browns are tied at 7 in the first quarter. Mike Goodson scored for the Panthers, while Peyton Hillis had a rushing touchdown for the Browns.
