After losing left guard Brady Christensen to a torn bicep in the season opener against the Atlanta Falcons (-2)
, there was a lot of hope placed on the idea of returning Chandler Zavala to his college position of left guard next to his college teammate Ickem Ekwonu. A lot of the Carolina Panthers (+10)’ 2023 season can be described as logical hope (on paper) not being borne out by the team’s practice.
Their 0-4 record through what may be the easiest stretch of their schedule has done nothing but bury fan confidence in a deepening pit.
