Panthers without key offensive starter due to shoulder injury
One of the most important pieces to the Carolina Panthers' offensive revival in 2024 could miss a bit of time. Starting left guard Damien Lewis was one of three starters who were ruled out ahead of Friday's preseason opener against the Cleveland Browns. Head coach Dave Canales would explain why after the game. "He strained his shoulder in the joint practice, and wasn't able to finish that day. So we shut him down." Canales told reporters following the 30-10 loss. "He'll be week to week, just kinda as we evaluate his shoulder. It's something that he's gonna have to prove that he gets the strength back and all that stuff. So he's return-to-play for us." Lewis joined the Panthers on a four-year, $53 million deal in the spring of 2024. He started in each of his 16 games and earned the highest overall offensive grade from Pro Football Focus (75.7) of his five-year career. Canales was then asked if the shoulder strain could put Lewis' status for the regular-season opener in question. "I hope not," Canales replied. "But again, they gave us a week-to-week deal on it. I've known D-Lew for a long time, and he finds his way back on the field. So I'm confident that he'll be able to do that." Well, he did exactly that last season—when Lewis fought through a tear in his elbow.

The coaching staff revealed that Horn is dealing with a left thumb injury. "I'm glad that Jaycee was OK," Panthers head coach Dave Canales said. "He did have to have a few stitches in his left thumb area. So they got that all cleaned up and sutured up. ... It doesn't seem like anything else happened, but you know we're just gonna kind of evaluate him each day." Horn went on social media to reassure fans that he's doing fine. The South Carolina product wrote, "I'm straight ! Nun major thank god." On Wednesday night, footage of the alleged accident involving Horn surfaced on Instagram.
