Panthers Get Back Massive Piece on Offense
The Carolina Panthers have finally received some good news on the injury front.
The Carolina Panthers secured a significant return to their roster as offensive lineman Damien Lewis made his comeback to practice after recovering from a calf injury. This development comes at a crucial time for the team, as they already lack both starting offensive tackles, Ikem Ekwonu and Taylor Moton, who are both expected to miss the regular season due to separate injuries.
Lewis, a key part of the Panthers' offensive line, signed a four-year deal with the team in 2024 and has consistently delivered dependable performances. Last season, he demonstrated exceptional pass protection skills, allowing only 14 total pressures, including a sack and three hits, which earned him a 75.7 overall PFF grade, ranking him 11th among 81 qualified offensive guards.
While it remains uncertain whether Lewis fully participated in practice, the Panthers will likely adopt a cautious approach considering their current offensive line situation. The team will kick off their preseason schedule against the Buffalo Bills on Saturday.
