Injury-Plagued Panthers Suffer Big Loss with G Damien Lewis Sidelined
NFL Network reported Damien Lewis will miss a few weeks with a UCL elbow injury, leaving Carolina without its starting left guard against Detroit.
- On Tuesday, NFL Network reported that Carolina Panthers starting left guard Damien Lewis will miss 'a few weeks' with a UCL injury in his elbow sustained during Sunday's loss to the Cleveland Browns.
- The Panthers signed Lewis to a four-year, $53 million contract in 2024 to anchor the interior offensive line around quarterback Bryce Young after his departure from the Seattle Seahawks.
