Panthers' Moton sidelined indefinitely with blood clot in lung
Key Points:
- Carolina Panthers starting right tackle Taylor Moton has been diagnosed with a blood clot in his lung and will miss regular-season time, leading to his placement on the non-football injury list.
- Cornerback Jaycee Horn is also on the non-football injury list due to a foot cut requiring stitches but is expected to return early in training camp.
- Moton is undergoing blood thinner treatment and is being monitored daily by the team's medical staff.
- Left tackle Ikem Ekwonu is likely to miss the start of training camp after a ruptured patellar tendon injury suffered in January's playoff loss.
- The Panthers have signed veteran Rasheed Walker and may use rookie Monroe Freeling to fill in at tackle positions during Moton's absence.
