It appears Eric Reid is set to play a big role in his Carolina Panthers debut.
Panthers head coach Ron Rivera told reporters that Reid will start at safety in the team's Week 5 matchup against the New York Giants, per Jourdan Rodrigue of the Charlotte Observer.
Reid signed a one-year contract last week worth up to $2 million.
The former San Francisco 49er will start in place of Da'Norris Searcy, who was placed on injured reserve prior to Carolina's bye week with a concussion.
