Panthers RT Taylor Moton fractures fibula in loss to Bucs, out indefinitely in just second game back after blood clot
Taylor Moton was diagnosed with a blood clot in one of his lungs in June.
The Carolina Panthers will be without right tackle Taylor Moton for an extended period following his fracture of the fibula during their 43-13 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Moton had just returned to action after recovering from a blood clot diagnosis this past offseason. Head coach Dave Canales announced Moton's indefinite absence following the game, describing the injury as severe.
Moton was sacked by Tampa Bay linebacker Yaya Diaby in the second half, resulting in him being carted off the field in considerable pain. The 32-year-old, now in his 10th NFL season with the Panthers, had been limited to seven quarters this fall. Moton's absence will likely see Monroe Freeling, drafted by the Panthers in the second round of the 2023 draft, taking over his role.
The Panthers have now fallen to 3-3 on the season after this blowout defeat. Next week, they will face off against the Green Bay Packers in a Thursday night game.
