Panthers Place Starting Center On COVID-19 List
3 years agoCarolina Panthers center Pat Elflein was placed on the COVID-19 list on Thursday, along with backup guard and left tackle Dennis Daley. While Elflein's placement is a more immediate concern, Daley being out on Sunday could also rear its head since starting left tackle Cameron Erving has been limited in practice with a calf injury. If he were to miss the game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, rookie third-string tackle Brady Christensen would start at left tackle. This is all bad news for running back Chuba Hubbard and quarterback Cam Newton against an imposing Bucs front. Hubbard was already not a recommended play given the matchup, but if he is running behind a makeshift offensive line, he can't be trusted in the fantasy playoffs.
