Panthers 2024 draft pick to miss time with high-ankle sprain

The Carolina Panthers' preseason opener, which resulted in a 17-3 loss to the New England Patriots on Thursday night, also resulted in a few injuries.

Head coach Dave Canales provided some updates on the setbacks this afternoon, following the team's first practice since the exhibition outing. He started with second-year offensive lineman Cade Mays.

"Cade had a shoulder—an AC sprain," Canales said. "So that'll be a couple of weeks for us to get him back out there."

Mays played 28 offensive snaps in the contest, one where the Panthers were already low on frontline depth.
