For a depleted Carolina Panthers offensive line, there is some good news on the horizon. Left tackle Matt Kalil is eligible to return to practice this week. No matter the opinions of him, it is always encouraging when a player returns to full health.
In talking to the media on Monday, head coach Ron Rivera said he had not talked to Ryan Vermillion, the team trainer, and that he would know more on Kalil’s condition once he did so.
As many of you may remember, Kalil had a rough August. Following a poor performance against the Miami Dolphins in the team’s second preseason game, he was put on injured reserve the following Monday.
