Ikem Ekwonu

Panthers LT Ikem Ekwonu (ankle) will not play in Week 9 against the Saints.

The Panthers will be forced to move multiple linemen around with Ekwonu out. Brady Christensen will move from center to left tackle and Cade Mays will start at center. Diontae Johnson is off the roster and Adam Thielen is not expected to play. It’s another nightmare setup for Bryce Young.
