Among the list of concerns for this Carolina Panthers team, offensive line has to be near, if not at the top of the list.
Coach Ron Rivera acknowledged as much after practice Monday, saying he was “absolutely concerned,” about the team’s current depth across the line. That came after left tackle Matt Kalil, who struggled in the team’s second preseason contest, missed practice for the second straight day while the team evaluates him for an undisclosed knee injury.
Add in the existing injuries to right tackle Daryl Williams (torn MCL) and left guard Amini Silatolu (torn meniscus), and just three weeks out from the Panthers’ season opener against the Cowboys, the team is missing three starting linemen.
