CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) The Panthers have announced that defensive backs coach Curtis Fuller resigned following an investigation into complaints of inappropriate conduct.

Panthers spokesman Steve Drummond released a statement Friday that said ''after approaching Coach Fuller with the findings of an investigation into complaints of inappropriate conduct, we accepted his resignation.''

The 39-year-old Fuller joined the Panthers in 2013 as a coaching assistant after playing in the NFL.

The team has not yet named a replacement.

The move comes with Panthers owner Jerry Richardson still under investigation by the NFL for sexual and racial misconduct in the workplace.
