Multiple College, NFL Teams Lose Key Offensive Linemen to Injuries

The Carolina Panthers are facing injury concerns on their offensive line after starting center Austin Corbett and right guard Robert Hunt exited early in Week 2 with knee and biceps injuries, respectively; Corbett's knee issue is particularly worrisome as it affects the same knee he tore his ACL in 2022. Meanwhile, Michigan State football announced that two defensive back reserves, Andrew Brinson IV and Caleb Gash, are out for the season, and several other players including Nick Marsh and Makhi Frazier have sustained injuries during recent games. At the University of Michigan, both starting guards, Gio El-Hadi and Brady Norton, will be sidelined for the upcoming game against Central Michigan due to injuries, with replacements Nate Efobi and Jake Guarnera expected to fill in. Additionally, Michigan's safety Rod Moore, who has missed the first two games, could return to play soon, signaling some hopeful news amid the team's injury challenges. These developments highlight the significant impact of injuries on several college and professional football teams early in the 2025 season.
