Panthers place Ikem Ekwonu on PUP, targeting return this season

Carolina Panthers place left tackle Ikem Ekwonu on the physically unable to perform list at the start of training camp after his January patellar tendon tear, with optimism for a return later in the season. Teammate Taylor Moton is on the non-football injury list due to a blood clot in his lung, likely shifting tackles duties to Rasheed Walker and 2026 first-round pick Monroe Freeling. Defensive lineman Tershawn Wharton heads to PUP for a neck injury, Bobby Brown goes to NFI with a hamstring issue, and cornerback Jaylon Guilbeau was waived from NFI.
