Carolina Panthers Right Tackle Taylor Moton Out Indefinitely with Blood Clot in Lung
Ian Rapoport said Moton is dealing with blood clots and Horn had stitches on his foot, leaving Carolina short on two starters.
On Tuesday, the Carolina Panthers announced that right tackle Taylor Moton and cornerback Jaycee Horn will be placed on the reserve/non-football injury list the day before training camp begins.
Moton was diagnosed with a blood clot in his lung and placed on blood thinners, with his return timeline uncertain; Horn cut his foot while running and required stitches but is not expected to miss games.
The 31-year-old Moton has played 145 games with 128 starts since being drafted in the second round by the Panthers in 2017, while rookie Monroe Freeling from Georgia was drafted first-round to eventually replace him.
Brady Christensen, a veteran offensive lineman, returned on a one-year deal earlier this week after being medically cleared from an Achilles injury and can play all five positions on the line.
Horn is anticipated to return early in camp, while Moton is expected to return during the regular season, forcing the Panthers to accelerate evaluations of younger players and recently acquired depth options.
