Any week would be a bad week for the Carolina Panthers to be without starting right tackle Taylor Moton. But this week, in particular, is not one of the more ideal ones in that regard.
Moton was added to the injury report ahead of the Panthers’ Week 2 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. A groin injury kept the team’s top offensive lineman as a limited participant in Thursday’s practice.
| Injury | Wed. | Thurs. | Fri. | |
| DT DaQuan Jones | Groin | Limited | Limited | |
| OT Taylor Moton | Groin | – | Limited | |
| S Juston Burris | Neck | Full | Full | |
| S Sean Chandler | Hamstring | Full | Full | |
| G Pat Elflein | Hip | Limited | Full | |
| G John Miller | Illness | Limited | Full | |
| WR Shi Smith | Shoulder | Full | Full |
Carolina will be welcoming in New Orleans for their first divisional clash of the 2021 season. And if that wasn’t big enough, Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan could be in for one heck of a day if Moton’s presence is compromised in any way.
Save for veteran defensive tackle DaQuan Jones, players who were limited on Wednesday (guards Pat Elflein and John Miller) made the jump to full participation on Thursday.
