Taylor Moton diagnosed with blood clot, Panthers face lineup shift

Veteran right tackle Taylor Moton, 31, was diagnosed with a blood clot in his lung and has begun anticoagulant therapy. The Carolina Panthers placed him on the NFI list, meaning he will miss the start of the 2026 season while his recovery timeline remains uncertain.

Coaches will explore alternative options to shore up the right side of the offensive line during training camp. Moton’s return date has yet to be determined.
