Carolina Panthers starting left tackle Matt Kalil was absent from a second consecutive practice on Monday.
A source told the Observer that he was having issues with his knee, and that the team was still in the process of evaluating the problem. The source said there would likely be more clarity in the coming days.
Head coach Ron Rivera said after Monday’s practice that Kalil was dealing with “knee soreness” that had plagued him some in training camp (he missed a day in Spartanburg as well).
“It’s the one that he’s been kind of working through camp, and it all just kind of came to a head,” said Rivera.
