Panthers OL Garry Williams has been named the team's starting right guard for Week 12 versus the Eagles.

Jeff Byers has started the past four games at the position, but Williams relieved him early in last week's game due to ineffectiveness. Williams started at the spot in Week 5 but was abused by the Seahawks pass rush. Recently signed Jeremy Bridges will be the back-up with Byers serving as the emergency third option.

With Panthers RG Geoff Hangartner shifting to center, RT Byron Bell will move to right guard and Garry Williams will start at right tackle.

The shifting has been brought about by C Ryan Kalil's season-ending foot injury. Williams missed all of 2011 with an ankle injury, but has already made two starts this season. Bell was having a decent year at right tackle, but struggled mightily in 2011.

GM Marty Hurney mentioned Garry Williams and Bruce Campbell as candidates to challenge Byron Bell for the Panthers' starting right tackle job.

Bell saw most of the first-string snaps in OTAs. Williams started 11 games in 2010 before spending last season on injured reserve with a broken ankle. Campbell is the most physically gifted of the trio, but never came close to cracking the starting lineup in Oakland.

Panthers signed G/T Garry Williams to a two-year contract extension.

Williams has spent the season on injured reserve after breaking his ankle in Carolina's preseason finale. His deal includes a $400,000 signing bonus, and has a maximum value of $2.05 million. One of the Panthers' top reserve linemen in 2010, Williams could be a future starter.

Panthers G/T Garry Williams is out for the season after suffering a fractured ankle in Thursday's preseason finale.

Williams will undergo surgery Friday, joining RG Geoff Schwartz on injured reserve. Williams, who started 11 games last season at right tackle, was a potential replacement for Schwartz inside. Mackenzy Bernadeau is another option, but he's been sidelined by a turf toe injury. The Panthers could turn to Leonard Davis, who is the biggest name left on the free agent market.

Panthers OT Garry Williams received his first start at right tackle in Week 7 and coach John Fox said he'll remain the starter there for the foreseeable future.

Fox switched up the offensive line for the 49ers game, shifting Geoff Schwartz from right tackle to guard and replacing him with Williams. He referred to Williams' play in his first start as "pretty good."
