The Carolina Panthers may have put forth an admirable effort in their postseason duel with the Los Angeles Rams, but the 34-31 scoreline had the home team on the losing end. To take things from bad to worse, one of their cornerstone players suffered a very concerning injury.
Left tackle Ikem Ekwonu, who has come on strong after some very uneven times in Panthers black and blue, was quickly removed from the game with a knee injury, and the latest update from Dave Canales is not exactly what optimistic fans were hoping to hear.
Canales called the injury "significant" and said the team will have more information about it available later.
