CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Carolina Panthers could be without starting left tackle Ickey Ekwonu for their opener after an emergency appendectomy on Sunday.
Coach Dave Canales said Wednesday the status of the sixth pick of the 2022 draft is day-to-day, and likely will be up until the Sept. 7 game at Jacksonville.
"We've seen these things turn around in a little over a week,'' Canales said. "It can be longer. It just depends on each individual's body, on how you respond to the surgery, how your body heals the right way.
"So, it's going to be day-to-day all the way up until the game.
