Austin Corbett Latest News
Has season-ending surgery
Corbett (biceps) underwent surgery to repair a torn biceps Tuesday, per his personal X account. Corbett will now begin the long journey of rehabbing from the injury he suffered in Week 5 at Chicago. In the meantime, Brady Christensen figures to continue to operate as the Panthers' primary center.
IR move official
Corbett (biceps) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer reports. Corbett suffered a torn biceps in Week 5 against Chicago and was ruled out for the season, thus this was simply a move to open a roster spot. Brady Christensen is projected to take over as the Panthers' center.
Done for season
Corbett tore his biceps in Sunday's loss to the Bears and will be out for the season, Joe Person of The Athletic reports. Corbett missed a significant portion of his 2023 season due to a knee injury and will suffer the same fate again in 2024. The veteran center will presumably undergo surgery to repair his bicep, although that isn't guaranteed, and placed on iR. Brady Christensen will likely handle the starting center role for the Panthers moving forward.
Imaging ahead
Corbett will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of the biceps injury he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Bears, Joe Person of The Athletic reports. Corbett exited the game late and never came back after being labeled doubtful to return. The MRI on Monday should give some clarity on a timeline for his return, and how long the Panthers will likely be calling on Brady Christensen to handle center duties.
Doubtful to return
Corbett (biceps) has exited Sunday's game against the Bears, David Newton of ESPN.com reports. Corbett's absence will leave the Panthers down their starting center. Brady Christensen should fill that role for the remainder of the game, assuming Corbett doesn't return.
Making positional change
Corbett, who is coming off offseason MCL surgery, is moving from guard to center ahead of the Panthers' 2024 campaign, Langston Wertz Jr. of The Charlotte Observer reports. With Carolina spending $153 million on a pair of new offensive guards this offseason, Corbett's positional change makes complete sense. The veteran offensive lineman missed a total of 13 regular-season games in 2023 due to multiple knee issues, and he's had those worked on as well this offseason. Expect Corbett to remain one of the leaders on a totally revamped Panthers offensive line in 2024.
Returns to action
Corbett (knee) participated during Tuesday's voluntary workout, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports. Corbett closed out the 2023 campaign on IR after suffering a knee injury in a Week 11 loss to the Cowboys. His ability to take part in drills Tuesday suggests the Nevada product's knee is well healed as Carolina begins preparation for the upcoming season.
Will suit up vs. Texans
Corbett is slated to make his 2023 debut in Week 8, finally coming back from the ruptured ACL he sustained last season. He figures to start at right guard Sunday.
Comes off PUP list
The Panthers originally designated Corbett for return 20 days ago, and he finally seems close to suiting back up after a few weeks of practice. It's still not clear whether he'll be active in Week 8 though, and he reminded reporters Tuesday that it will ultimately be Carolina's call whether he plays versus Houston, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
