Panthers Week 9 injury report: LT Ikem Ekwonu, 2 others out vs. Saints

The Carolina Panthers and quarterback Bryce Young will be without their starting left tackle on Sunday.

Third-year offensive lineman Ikem Ekwonu has been ruled out of the team’s Week 9 contest against the New Orleans Saints. Ekwonu was a non-participant in practice throughout the entire week due to an ankle injury.

Head coach Dave Canales told reporters that Brady Christensen will get the start at left tackle in place of Ekwonu. Cade Mays will, in turn, take over at center for Christensen.

Carolina has also ruled out tight end Feleipe Franks (concussion) and safety Jammie Robinson (knee).
