Summary
Taylor Moton will miss the start of the 2026 season after doctors found a blood clot in his left lung in late June, and Carolina placed the veteran right tackle on the non-football injury list Tuesday.
Blood thinners have been prescribed, and the Panthers said the 31-year-old has responded well while team medical staff monitors him day to day.
Carolina's offensive line is already strained because left tackle Ikem Ekwonu is recovering from a ruptured patellar tendon suffered in the Panthers' January playoff loss.
Rasheed Walker, signed in March as insurance on the left side, and No. 18 draft pick Monroe Freeling now loom as key options as Carolina tries to protect Bryce Young entering a higher-expectation 2026 season.
