Ikem Ekwonu Injury: Dealing with knee injury

Published on December 17, 2025

Ekwonu (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

The fourth-year pro from NC State appears to have sustained a knee injury in the Panthers' Week 15 loss to the Saints. Ekwonu now likely needs to practice in full Thursday or Friday to avoid an injury designation heading into the Week 16 matchup against the Buccaneers.
