'Fun Uncle' Taylor Moton, After 'Scary' Diagnosis, Returns to Panthers' Practice

Taylor Moton returned after three months on blood thinners, with doctors saying his chance of another clot is relatively low.

  • On Tuesday, Carolina Panthers offensive tackle Taylor Moton returned to practice for the first time since June, participating in his first padded workout after the team activated his 21-day practice window on the non-football injury list.
  • Moton began "thinking the worst" in June when he coughed up blood, leading to a hospital diagnosis of "a multitude of clots" in his right lung; doctors prescribed three months of blood-thinning treatment during which he was prohibited from playing.
  • Doctors told Moton his risk of recurrence is "relatively low," clearing the path for his return; the 32-year-old has been off blood thinners for "a couple of weeks now" and donned full pads Tuesday.
  • Ahead of Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Moton is consulting with a bloodwork specialist and said "I'm going into it preparing to play."
