The hits just keep coming for the Carolina Panthers offensive line as they have officially ended the seasons of the top two centers on the roster, Ryan Kalil and Gino Gradkowski, by placing them on injured reserve.
Kalil, a three-time All-Pro and five-time Pro Bowler, has been dealing with an injured shoulder for much of the season. After coming back in the team’s Week 11 matchup with the New Orleans Saints, he was knocked out again and didn’t make the trip to the West Coast for the Panthers’ latest two-game stretch, prompting the move to IR.
