Panthers Week 9 injury report: LT Ikem Ekwonu, 2 others out vs. Saints

Panthers QB Bryce Young won’t have his starting LT on his blindside in Week 9.

The Carolina Panthers and quarterback Bryce Young will be without their starting left tackle on Sunday.

Third-year offensive lineman Ikem Ekwonu has been ruled out of the team’s Week 9 contest against the New Orleans Saints. Ekwonu was a non-participant in practice throughout the entire week due to an ankle injury.

Head coach Dave Canales told reporters that Brady Christensen will get the start at left tackle in place of Ekwonu. Cade Mays will, in turn, take over at center for Christensen.

Carolina has also ruled out tight end Feleipe Franks (concussion) and safety Jammie Robinson (knee).

Here’s the full injury report heading into the weekend:

Carolina Panthers wideout Xavier Legette may want to take it easy on ol’ Dolla Bill for the rest of the week.

Fellow rookie Jonathon Brooks (knee) remains on the report, but was down as a full participant for the second straight session. Outside linebacker D.J. Wonnum (quad) was also a full participant once again.

In a bit of potentially concerning news, left tackle Ikem Ekwonu missed another outing due to an ankle injury.

Panthers list RB Jonathon Brooks as full participant for Wednesday’s practice

Panthers rookie RB Jonathon Brooks is getting closer to his NFL debut.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Andy Dalton won’t be getting the start in Week 9, but he’s closer to getting back to full health.

The veteran passer, who missed this past Sunday’s 28-14 loss to the Denver Broncos due to a sprained right thumb, was listed as a full participant for today’s practice. He will, however, give way once again to Bryce Young—who was announced as the Week 9 starter by head coach Dave Canales.

Canales had this to say about Dalton’s status:

“Andy is progressing. He was out there throwing. And I just really looked at all the things and for me, I just erred on the side of caution and wanted get Andy in the best possible situation to be able to make a decision going forward.”

Joining Dalton as a full participant was rookie running back Jonathon Brooks (knee), who has yet to make his NFL debut. The Panthers now have one week to activate Brooks to the main roster.

Canales did not rule out Brooks from suiting up for Sunday’s matchup against the New Orleans Saints.

Panthers QB Bryce Young named starter for Week 8 matchup vs. Broncos

With Andy Dalton dealing with a right thumb injury, the Panthers will hand the reins back over to Bryce Young in Week 8.

The Carolina Panthers will, once again, look a little different under center.

On Wednesday, head coach Dave Canales announced that second-year quarterback Bryce Young is set to start in the team’s Week 8 matchup against the Denver Broncos. The second shot for the 2023 No. 1 overall pick comes as a result of a right thumb injury to veteran Andy Dalton, who was involved in a minor car accident on Tuesday.

Young was benched following a disappointing start to his sophomore campaign. He passed for just 250 yards and three interceptions over a pair of losses.

Here, headlined by Dalton, is Wednesday’s full injury report:

Panthers Week 7 injury report: 6 players ruled out vs. Commanders

The Panthers will be without a handful of starters in Week 7.

The Carolina Panthers defense will be without even more of their starters in Week 7.

Six players have been ruled out ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the Washington Commanders—including defensive lineman A’Shawn Robinson (ankle) as well as inside linebackers Josey Jewell (hamstring/groin) and Claudin Cherelus (hamstring). Cherelus got the starting nod in place of Jewell in last week’s loss to the Atlanta Falcons.

On offense, the team will be without starting right tackle Taylor Moton (elbow) for the second straight outing and rookie running back Jonathon Brooks (knee). After being sidelined for the offseason and the first six weeks of the regular season, Brooks was officially designated to return to practice on Wednesday.

In addition, wide receiver Diontae Johnson (ankle)—who returned to the field on Friday after missing the two previous practices—has been listed as questionable.

Here’s Friday’s injury report in full:

Panthers WR Diontae Johnson was held out of practice once again on Thursday.

The Carolina Panthers were without their No. 1 receiver for the second straight day this week.

After being held out of Wednesday’s practice, wideout Diontae Johnson did not participate in Thursday’s session. Johnson—who leads the team in receptions (29), receiving yards (340) and receiving touchdowns (three)—has been dealing with an ankle injury.

Fellow starter and outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney also remained sidelined. The three-time Pro Bowler injured his shoulder during the Week 5 loss to the Chicago Bears.

Joining them was right tackle Taylor Moton, who missed the very first game of his NFL career this past Sunday due to an elbow issue.

Panthers WR Diontae Johnson, 8 others held out from Wednesday’s practice

WR Diontae Johnson and OT Taylor Moton were among the 9 Panthers who did not participate in today’s practice.

(This story was updated to add new information.)

The Carolina Panthers are beginning Week 7 with one heck of an injury report.

Eight players, including wideout Diontae Johnson and right tackle Taylor Moton, were held out of this afternoon’s practice.

Johnson, per head coach Dave Canales, is expected to be back for Thursday’s session. The team’s leading receiver has been nursing ankle and groin injuries throughout the season.

Moton, meanwhile, remains “day-to-day.” The eighth-year hog molly missed the very first game of his NFL career this past Sunday due to a triceps injury.

Outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney, who missed Week 6’s loss to the Atlanta Falcons, also did not participate. (Clowney’s initial listing as a “limited’ participant was officially changed by the team following the release of today’s injury report.)

Panthers sign former Vikings WR to practice squad on Wednesday

The Panthers signed WR Dan Chisena to their practice squad on Wednesday.

The Carolina Panthers were a little busy before taking the practice field on Wednesday.

Along with officially declaring the returns of running back Jonathon Brooks, defensive lineman Jaden Cruemdy and safety Sam Franklin Jr., the team also announced that they’ve signed veteran wideout Dan Chisena to their practice squad.

A Paoli, Penn. native, Chisena played his college ball at nearby Penn State University from 2018 to 2019. He appeared in 14 games for the Nittany Lions, posting three catches for 66 yards.

The 6-foot-3, 203-pounder would then crack into the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Minnesota Vikings in 2020. He played almost strictly as a special teamer from 2020 to 2022, with just 11 of his 507 snaps for the Vikings coming on offense.

Chisena has also picked up stops with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Arizona Cardinals and Baltimore Ravens. He was most recently with the Cardinals, who released him this past Friday to end his second stint in Arizona.
