Placed on IR following surgery
Carolina placed Christensen (Achilles) on injured reserve Thursday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Christensen suffered a torn Achilles in this past Sunday's loss to Buffalo and underwent surgery Wednesday. Jake Curhan is currently atop the depth chart at right guard, though he could fade into a reserve once the Panthers get either Chandler Zavala (knee) or Robert Hunt (biceps) back from injured reserve.

Suffers Achilles injury vs. Buffalo
Head coach Dave Canales said Christensen is feared to have sustained a season-ending Achilles injury during the Panthers' 40-9 loss to the Bills on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Christensen was carted off the field during the second half of Sunday's game, and further tests seem to have revealed that the fifth-year pro will miss the rest of the season due to a ruptured Achilles. The severity of the injury could also impact his availability for the start of the 2026 season. In Christensen's absence, Jake Curhan is a candidate to start at right guard for the rest of 2025.

Getting reps at center
Christensen took snaps at center during voluntary workouts last week, Joseph Person of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Christensen had been working his way back from a bicep tear he sustained in Week 1 last season, but he's now apparently back in football shape. He could compete with Austin Corbett for Carolina's starting center job in 2024.

Almost fully recovered
Christensen is "basically cleared," heading into the offseason after he tore his right biceps Week 1, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
ANALYSIS
Christensen told Kaye that he'll never take the "game for granted again," after he missed all but one contest this season. Barring any setbacks, the BYU product should be able to take part in offseason activities and be the team's starter at left guard next year.

Out for season
Christensen (biceps) won't return this season, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
ANALYSIS
Christensen injured his biceps late in Sunday's season-opening loss to Atlanta but was able to finish the contest. However, he was placed on IR on Wednesday and has now been ruled out from returning for the remainder of the campaign. This is a big blow to a Carolina offensive line tasked with protecting rookie signal caller Bryce Young, as Christensen started all 17 contests for the team last year.

Placed on injured reserve
Christensen (biceps) was placed on IR on Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Christensen suffered the injury late in Sunday's loss to the Falcons and was able to play through it; however, he'll now be forced to miss at least the team's next four games while he recovers from the injury. It's not clear who will take over at left guard for him, but Nash Jensen, Cade Mays and Calvin Throckmorton should all be considered possible candidates.

Back on the field
Christensen has returned to action after recovering from an ankle injury, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Christensen started all 17 games at left guard last season before breaking his ankle during the team's final matchup. Now fully healthy, the 26-year-old should once again serve as a starter during the 2023 campaign.
Jan 9, 2023
Suffers fractured ankle
Christensen suffered a fractured left ankle in Sunday's 10-7 win over the Saints, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Christensen was forced to exit the Panthers' season finale Sunday after he injured his left ankle in the first quarter, which has now been determined to be a fracture for the offensive guard. With Carolina's season now over with, more information may be hard to come by when it comes to his status moving forward. Christensen appeared in all 17 of the Panthers' games this season and will likely remain their starting left guard when healthy in 2023.

Won't return versus Tampa Bay

ANALYSIS
Christensen will now remain sidelined after exiting with an ankle injury in the first quarter. In his stead, Michael Jordan will take over at left guard for Carolina, per Person.

Exits with injury
Christensen (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Christensen was carted to the locker room after going down with an ankle injury in the first quarter, according to Person. With his return now up in the air, Michael Jordan will likely step in at left guard for the time being.
