Panthers OL Revival or Relapse | Carolina Panthers News

The Carolina Panthers’ offensive line is ranked a dismal 26th heading into the season, but don’t write them off yet. Missing both starting tackles—Ikem Ekwonu (torn patellar tendon) and Taylor Moton (lung clot)—has hurt them badly. Still, the front office is moving fast: they signed veteran Dan Morgan Walker, drafted big tackle Tyler Freeling in the first round, and brought in reliable center Luke Fortner (ranked 17th by PFF last year) on a one-year deal. They also added Sam Hecht in the fifth round to bolster the middle. Last year’s top-8 unit has slipped to 20th, but with key injuries and smart moves, this group could surprise everyone as the season unfolds.
