Overview
- Coach Dave Canales said Hunt tore his left biceps and will undergo surgery, and Corbett sustained a Grade 3 MCL injury to his left knee, ruling both out at least four games on injured reserve.
- Canales did not set a timetable for Corbett’s return, while Hunt’s procedure is typically season-ending even though a late-year return was not completely ruled out.
- Cade Mays will start at center and Chandler Zavala will take over at right guard as Carolina leans on the continuity of its retained depth.
- Carolina fell to 0-2 with a 27-22 loss at Arizona, where Bryce Young posted a career-high 328 passing yards and three touchdowns following early turnovers.
- Rookie Tetairoa McMillan logged his first 100-yard receiving game, and the Panthers executed their first successful onside kick since 2019 as they prepare to host the Falcons in Week 3.
