Panthers OT Taylor Moton details scary events that led to discovery of blood clots
Panthers OT Taylor Moton talked about the terrifying details that led to the discovery of his blood clots earlier this year.
Carolina Panthers offensive tackle Taylor Moton shared harrowing details on Tuesday about the events that led to the discovery of his blood clots. The 32-year-old revealed he had coughed up blood and experienced life-threatening blood pressure issues during the summer. Moton is currently off blood thinners and feels optimistic about returning to the field.
Moton, along with running back Trevor Etienne and defensive lineman Tershawn Wharton, were designated to return to practice earlier in the day. However, their status for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles remains uncertain. Head coach Dave Canales expressed encouragement after seeing all three players perform well during practice. Canales noted that they would monitor their response to a physical, padded practice before making any further decisions.
With Moton's absence, first-round pick Monroe Freeling was initially named right tackle for the team's first four games of the season. However, the rookie's participation for Week 6 is still unclear due to a knee injury sustained after a win over the Detroit Lions.
