The Panthers ruled out Ekwonu (ankle) for Sunday's game against the Giants. Ekwonu didn't practice at all this week leading up to Sunday's contest in Germany and will miss his second straight game after being injured late in Week 8 against Denver. Cade Mays is expected to make another start at guard with Brady Christensen kicking over to left tackle.
Ekwonu (ankle) won't play in Sunday's matchup against New Orleans, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports. Ekwonu injured his ankle in last Sunday's matchup against Denver. He wasn't able to practice at all this week, which will result in his absence versus the Saints on Sunday. Brady Christensen is expected to start at left tackle in Ekwonu's stead, per Joe Person of The Athletic.
