Panthers' Brady Christensen: Placed on IR following surgery
Rotowire
Carolina placed Christensen (Achilles) on injured reserve Thursday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Christensen suffered a torn Achilles in this past Sunday's loss to Buffalo and underwent surgery Wednesday. Jake Curhan is currently atop the depth chart at right guard, though he could fade into a reserve once the Panthers get either Chandler Zavala (knee) or Robert Hunt (biceps) back from injured reserve.

Head coach Dave Canales said Christensen is feared to have sustained a season-ending Achilles injury during the Panthers' 40-9 loss to the Bills on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Christensen was carted off the field during the second half of Sunday's game, and further tests seem to have revealed that the fifth-year pro will miss the rest of the season due to a ruptured Achilles. The severity of the injury could also impact his availability for the start of the 2026 season. In Christensen's absence, Jake Curhan is a candidate to start at right guard for the rest of 2025.

Panthers' Brady Christensen: Placed on injured reserve
Rotowire
Christensen (biceps) was placed on IR on Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Christensen suffered the injury late in Sunday's loss to the Falcons and was able to play through it; however, he'll now be forced to miss at least the team's next four games while he recovers from the injury. It's not clear who will take over at left guard for him, but Nash Jensen, Cade Mays and Calvin Throckmorton should all be considered possible candidates.
