Panthers head coach Dave Canales said yesterday Brady Christensen is set to return to practice. The veteran offensive lineman is indeed back on the field.
Christensen has been designated for return from injured reserve, the team announced on Tuesday. His 21-day activation window is now open as a result. Carolina must bring Christensen back onto the active roster within that period to avoid having him revert to season-ending IR.
An Achilles tear limited Christensen to eight games in 2025. He rehabbed the injury throughout a lengthy free agent spell and left the door open to joining a new team on the open market.
