Taylor Moton Out Indefinitely Following Lung Blood Clot Diagnosis

Carolina Panthers starting right tackle Taylor Moton has been diagnosed with a blood clot in his lung, discovered late last month. The team confirmed he will miss the start of the 2026 regular season with no specific return timeline provided. His absence is a significant blow to the offensive line as the team evaluates quarterback Bryce Young. The Panthers may look to first-round pick Monroe Freeling to fill the vacant starting right tackle role during Moton's recovery.
