The start of training camp is a good time in the football calendar because it draws us closer to meaningful games after months without the game, but the increased tempo and intensity of practices also creates an added risk of injuries that leads to players being carted off the field during workouts.
That’s what happened at Panthers practice on Monday. Defensive tackle Star Lotulelei needed the cart’s help to return to the locker room after going down during a drill.
Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports that Lotulelei limped off the field at the end of a play and received medical attention from trainers before riding off the field with his right foot wrapped in ice.
