The Carolina Panthers are looking to fill the void left by starting left tackle Ikem Ekwonu's brutal injury this offseason. It's the last thing general manager Dan Morgan wanted, so this blow demands the correct attention to ensure no momentum is lost.
Morgan will be scouring free agency for a possible option. Stone Forsythe was signed, but that won't be enough. The draft is another option to consider, potentially with the No. 19 pick depending on who is available when Carolina goes on the clock.
However, one viable option for the Panthers is officially off the table after a surprise development that not many expected.
