"There was starting center Austin Corbett, barely able to walk with his left knee heavily bandaged, helping guard Robert Hunt pull a shirt over his left arm that forced him to leave the 27-22 loss in the fourth quarter with a biceps injury. Beyond Young overcoming a two-turnover start that led to a 27-3 deficit, there was the cold reality that Corbett and Hunt could miss extended time, if not the rest of a season, which has begun 0-2."
"Hunt had already talked to a fellow teammate who had dealt with a biceps injury before, so he knew NFL players who undergo that surgery typically take a year to recover. Corbett was so distraught over what he faced that he later leaned his head against a wall outside the locker room in tears. "Football sucks, but I love this game so much," said Corbett, who tore his left ACL in the 2022 finale, his left MCL in Week 11 of 2023"
Carolina trailed the Arizona Cardinals 27-3 before Bryce Young rallied the offense and put up career passing numbers, nearly completing a comeback in a 27-22 loss. Two key offensive linemen suffered significant injuries: center Austin Corbett, already recovering from multiple prior knee and biceps injuries, appeared in tears and may face extended absence; guard Robert Hunt left with a biceps injury that might require surgery and about a year to recover. The injuries overshadowed Young's late-game magic and left the Panthers with an 0-2 start and serious concerns about offensive line depth.
