Panthers' Left Tackle Battle

The Panthers’ offensive line is in flux, especially at left tackle, where Ikem Ekwonu’s season-ending injury leaves a void. To fill it, they’ve signed veteran Rasheed Walker and drafted Monroe Freeling — a duo set to battle for the starting spot while Ekwonu recovers. Analysts note the uncertainty, given Ekwonu’s past inconsistency and lengthy rehab, but the front office’s proactive moves signal long-term confidence. They’ve also bolstered depth at center with Luke Fortner and rookie Sam Hecht, turning a shaky position group into a more stable foundation for the season.
