Amini Silatolu

Carolina Panthers beat writer Steve Reed is reporting LG Amini Silatolu (knee) will undergo a surgery on Friday to repair his torn meniscus.

Fantasy Impact

The Panthers, who lost Andrew Norwell in free agency, are now down his presumed heir-apparent. Silatolu tore his meniscus at training camp which will require a surgery to repair it. As a result, he will be evaluated on a week-to-week basis but is indefinitely out of football activities for the near future. Expect Taylor Moton and Kyle Bosch to compete for the starting left guard spot for the remainder of the offseason, though the position is considered wide open.

Amini Silatolu signs a one-year deal with the Panthers after missing all of last season due to injury. Silatolu signed with Bears but was released last season. Silatolu returns to the Panthers after spending his first four seasons in Carolina.

Fantasy Impact

The Panthers have a lot of questions to be answered on the offensive line not named Ryan Kahlil. Michael Oher isn't looking good for next season while still not being cleared from concussions. Silatolu could provide depth but isn't guaranteed a spot.
