The season is already over for Carolina Panthers guard Brady Christensen .
As first reported by Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer on Wednesday, the third-year lineman will miss the remainder of the 2023 campaign due to his biceps injury. Christensen was placed on injured reserve earlier this morning.
During his pre-practice press conference this afternoon, head coach Frank Reich told reporters that Christensen sustained the injury during this past Sunday's season-opening loss to the Atlanta Falcons . The 26-year-old finished out the contest, playing in each of the offense's 77 snaps.
Reich noted that there will be a trio of possible replacements in Christensen's position. Those players include 2022 sixth-round pick Cade Mays , undrafted rookie Nash Jensen and veteran Justin McCray.
Along with Christensen, the Panthers are also without starting right guard Austin Corbett . Corbett, who tore his ACL in last year's season finale against the New Orleans Saints , is currently on the reserve/physically unable to perform list.
