Carolina Panthers v New York Jets
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ – NOVEMBER 26: Offensive tackle Matt Kalil #75, center Tyler Larsen #69, offensive guard Andrew Norwell #68 and teammates take the field before playing against the New York Jets during the first quarter of the game at MetLife Stadium on November 26, 2017 in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Offensive Tackle

Left tackle Matt Kalil is week-to-week and right tackle Daryl Williams is expected to miss half of the regular season, both with knee injuries. That means second-year tackle Taylor Moton will start at left tackle for the second week in a row.

It is worth mentioning that the offensive line allowed zero sacks in the Panthers 25-14 week three victory against the Patriots. In week two, Newton was sacked twice. Both sacks were given up by Matt Kalil.

Additional storylines to keep in mind as the Steelers and Panthers conclude preseason play include:

Who will claim the vacant No. 2 quarterback roster spot?

Should Moton be named the permanent starter at left tackle?

Will the Panthers place Daryl Williams on Injured Reserve (IR) or save it for another player?

How many running backs will the Panthers keep?

Does Torrey Smith have a guaranteed roster spot?
