Sure glad we take it easy on the players so they don’t get hurt before the season starts. Could you imagine if 4 of our 11 starters on offense went down just prior to our 1st game?

Not sure how an appendectomy, and a year old shoulder injury imply that but go for it.

Wow. I literally just called this 3 hours ago and lo and behold, we have 3 starting o-line on injury report.

Yep lets say that when your entire argument is "asumption" by supposed talking heads with no sources.....

conjecture, huh. Not like you....who is making an argument off of a singular stat

Vegas historically has given 3 points to the home team. Basically see of as equal with the slight nod to the Jags. Totally fair

This is the not panicked take. Sucks about Icky but hopefully its only 1 game.

Hunt came back for drills after tweaking his foot, but they pulled him out of precaution. I dont think there's any real concern about Lewis & Hunt for Sunday. I think it's a long shot for Icky to play though. I really hope we are getting some of these random injuries out early and we will have health luck throughout the season. Regardless, I'm glad we have depth, although I'm not pumped to see Yosh Nijman out there. I've yet to see anything in his play that has warranted the investment by the team, but Sunday is his biggest chance yet to prove his value. We'll see

Two key guys we've tied up a ton of salary cap in dealing with nagging injuries before the season even starts. Same old Panthers.

Spread is still 3.5

Sounds like both Gs will be playing who knows about ickey.

We are beyond screwed

Darin Gantt @daringantt · 51m Canales said Yosh Nijman and Brady Christensen have worked at LT in Ikem Ekwonu's absence. Said the goal is for Ekwonu to work Friday in individual to decide if he can play Sunday.

Steve Reed @SteveReedAP · 47m On Hunt, he tweaked his foot today in practice. He left practice for a bit, then returned for a few plays before the Panthers shut him down as a precautionary measure. Team should know more later today on his status. Alex Zietlow @alexzietlow05 · 47m #Panthers coach Dave Canales on who could replace Ickey Ekwonu — who did not participate in practice today — in Week 1 … as well as what needs to happen for Ekwonu to play Sunday. He has to have “a really good Friday.” Joe Person @josephperson · 49m Canales: The hope is LT Ikem Ekwonu can do a little more by Friday (mentioned hitting bags) to see if he could be available Sunday. G Robert Hunt tweaked his foot during practice. Returned to drills, but then coaches and med. staff decided to hold him out.

So much conjuncture in this statement, and LMFAO at assuming.

I'm sure the Princely and Scourton will get plenty of reps from the start, but I do wonder what they're thinking starting Nick Scott at safety. I get that Ransom is a rookie, but he can't possibly be worse than Nick Scott.

Our S&C staff has to be the worst in the NFL. How are ALL our best players always hurt?

The Carolina Panthers might be down a few hog mollies for their regular-season opener. Wednesday's injury report, the first of the 2025 campaign for the team, included three starting offensive linemen—left tackle Ikem Ekwonu and guards Damien Lewis and Robert Hunt. Ekwonu, who underwent an appendectomy last Sunday, did not participate in practice this afternoon. Head coach Dave Canales was asked what the plan would be at the position if Ekwonu is out for their Week 1 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. "Yosh [Nijman] has been taking a lot of reps there," Canales replied. "Then also, Brady [Christensen] has been taking reps at left and right, as always. So we're just gonna kinda take it one day at a time." Here's the Panthers' full injury report from Wednesday: OT Ikem Ekwonu (Illness) | Wednesday: DNP G Damien Lewis (Shoulder/ankle) | Wednesday: Limited CB Damarri Mathis (Knee) | Wednesday: Limited G Robert Hunt (Foot) | Wednesday: Limited https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/09/03/panthers-week-1-injury-updates-ikem-ekwonu-robert-hunt/85958324007/?taid=68b89ea3a9960a0001fc10b5&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

Damn.

It really seems people get offseason and preseason confused. He arrived at OTAs in bad shape. They put him on a plan and talked about how he was changing his body. He came to camp looking better. I cant figure out why this is difficult to follow.

He hurt his foot and was limited

Did I miss hunt being hurt? He's on the injury report.

31-13 Panthers win!! Going to this one and I can't wait!!!
