The Carolina Panthers left the Windy City beaten in more ways than one on Sunday.
Head coach Dave Canales took the lectern this afternoon to provide some updates on his team following their 36-10 loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 5. The most notable bit concerned center Austin Corbett, whose 2024 season will now come to a close after he tore his biceps in the defeat.
“Again, just another blow,” Canales told reporters. “With a guy that just stands for everything that I believe in—the work ethic, the practice habits, the professionalism, his positive outlook in terms of what can be on the next drive, just continuing to work and control the things that he can control. So my heart is with Austin.”
Canales would then relay some relatively positive news on fellow offensive lineman Taylor Moton, who injured his triceps. Moton is considered “week-to-week” and is expected miss Carolina’s outing against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
Week 6 would, in turn, mark the first missed game of Moton’s eight-year NFL career.
In addition, rookie wide receiver Xavier Legette and outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney are “day-to-day” with shoulder injuries while tight end Tommy Tremble is currently in concussion protocol.
