What happened: The franchise placed LT Ikem Ekwonu and DT Tershawn Wharton on the physically unable to perform list. DT Bobby Brown III and CB Jaycee Horn currently sit on the NFI list, while RT Taylor Moton carries an illness designation.
Why it matters: Missing both primary bookends strips the offense of critical pass protection reps early in the summer schedule. Operating without these foundational pieces sets an ominous tone for a blocking group desperate to prove it can dominate the line of scrimmage.
