Carolina Panthers center Austin Corbett can’t catch a break.
The seventh-year lineman made an early exit from Sunday’s loss to the Chicago Bears with a bicep injury. Imaging on his arm from today has revealed that Corbett tore his biceps and, per head coach Dave Canales, is expected to miss the remainder of the 2024 campaign.
This is now the third significant setback Corbett has sustained in as many years as a Panther. He tore his ACL in the regular-season finale in 2022, and then tore the MCL in his same knee in the middle of 2023—with the two injuries causing him to miss a total of 13 games.
Corbett’s latest injury is particularly unfortunate given his remarkable transition from guard to center this season. The 29-year-old has thrived as he’s manned the middle for the first time in his pro career.
Backup Brady Christensen took over for Corbett upon his departure yesterday, recording the final 19 offensive snaps at center in the 36-10 defeat.
