What happened: The Carolina Panthers placed left tackle Ikem Ekwonu and defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton on the physically unable to perform list. Cornerback Jaycee Horn and defensive tackle Bobby Brown III went to the non-football injury list. Right tackle Taylor Moton landed on the non-football illness designation.

Why it matters: The roster maneuvers sideline multiple projected starters on both sides of the trenches as the franchise begins its preseason program. Carolina will evaluate the depth along the offensive line and in the secondary during the initial weeks of practice.

What to watch: The sidelined players remain eligible to return to the active roster once cleared by the medical staff.
