The Carolina Panthers entered 2018 with high expectations surrounding a revamped offense and new coordinator. During an offseason filled with changes, one of the only questions up front was who would replace guard Andrew Norwell after he left during free agency. Other than finding a suitable candidate, the Panthers appeared ready for big things with quarterback Cam Newton entering the season healthy behind an otherwise productive unit.
Fast forward about a month and the Panthers find themselves looking for answers at nearly every offensive line position. Starting right tackle Daryl Williams was the first to go down, tearing his MCL during training camp – enter second year tackle Taylor Moton, a promising young candidate now forced into action.
