Two perennial Pro Bowlers who ended last season on the sideline are back on the field for organized team activities.
Carolina Panthers center Ryan Kalil and middle linebacker Luke Kuechly were limited during the OTA practices, but getting them back in any capacity is a good start to rinsing the bad taste of 2016 from everyone’s mouth.
Both missed the final stretch of the Panthers’ miserable post-Super Bowl season after getting injured in a Thursday night loss to New Orleans in November. Kalil went down with a season-ending shoulder injury, and Kuechly sat the final six games after his second concussion in as many seasons.
