Panthers LG Amini Silatolu (knee) says he's "probably at 98 percent" health and should be all systems go for the start of training camp.

Silatolu blew out his knee in Week 5 last season. He's fully expected to reclaim his starting job at left guard, while rookie Trai Turner is considered the favorite at right guard. The Panthers' Week 1 projected offensive line reads" LT Byron Bell, LG Silatolu, C Ryan Kalil, RG Turner, and RT Nate Chandler.

Panthers LG Amini Silatolu (ACL surgery) is doing everything except 11-on-11 work during OTAs.

Silatolu is progressing well after blowing out his right knee in Week 5 last season. The Panthers desperately need the 2012 second-round pick to be a difference-maker on their talent-deficient offensive line this season.

Amini Silatolu (ACL surgery) is expected to reclaim his starting left guard job.

As a second-round rookie in 2012, Silatolu struggled as a pass protector while making 15 starts. Then he blew out his knee three games into the 2013 season. He'll be a question mark along with potential left tackle Byron Bell, right tackle Garry Williams and Chris Scott/Nate Chandler at right guard. The Panthers arguably have the worst offensive line in the NFL right now.

Panthers LG Amini Silatolu has been diagnosed with a torn right ACL, and is done for the season.

It's a big blow for a Panthers' offensive line that got destroyed by the Cardinals on Sunday. The No. 40 overall pick of last year's draft, Silatolu was coming on after a shaky rookie season. The Panthers will move forward with Chris Scott and Travelle Wharton at guard. It's not a good situation for a struggling Cam Newton.

Panthers LG Amini Silatolu will undergo an MRI on his right knee Monday.

The "initial diagnosis" is a knee sprain, but that means nothing before an MRI digs for potential ligament damage. The Panthers' offensive line got destroyed by Arizona's defense in Week 5, allowing seven sacks and 11 QB hits.

Panthers LG Amini Silatolu is done for the day in Week 5 with a right knee injury.

We noticed Silatolu having the knee taped and iced heavily on the sideline, indicating a severe sprain. The extent of his injury is mere speculation at this point; the Panthers probably don't even know yet before an MRI.

Panthers LG Amini Silatolu will resume starting in Week 2.

Silatolu missed Week 1 with a hamstring injury, and the Panthers still ran the football with success on Seattle's stout defensive front. They should be ever better now. DeAngelo Williams is a solid RB2/flex Sunday at Buffalo.

Panthers LG Amini Silatolu (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Silatolu practiced on a limited basis Friday and is a "long shot" to play in Week 1. It's a downgrade for DeAngelo Williams and the Panthers' run-offense. Chris Scott is expected to start at left guard.

Panthers LG Amini Silatolu (hamstring) has resumed practicing.

He beat the Panthers' expectations, which were that Silatolu would miss Week 1. "I don't feel that way anymore, especially after seeing him today," coach Ron Rivera said. It's good news for a Carolina offensive line that looked to be reeling in preseason action. Their projected Week 1 O-Line looks like this: LT Jordan Gross, LG Silatolu, C Ryan Kalil, RG Garry Williams, RT Byron Bell.

Panthers LG Amini Silatolu is expected to miss Week 1 with a hamstring injury.

The Panthers aren't giving a timetable for return, but it's rough news as Carolina prepares to play a loaded Seahawks defensive front. Travelle Wharton, signed on Sunday, will start at left guard with Garry Williams at right guard. It's going to be tough Opening Day sledding for DeAngelo Williams.

Panthers placed LG Amini Silatolu on injured reserve with a dislocated wrist, ending his season.

A second-round pick in last April's draft, Silatolu had yet to miss a start. The Midwestern State product had a rough rookie season, however, grading out as a bottom-five guard in Pro Football Focus' ratings. He'll be the favorite to retain left guard duties in next summer's camp, but could face competition from a veteran free agent.

Panthers LG Amini Silatolu exited Sunday's Week 16 game with a wrist injury and is done for the day.

Silatolu, the 40th overall pick in April's draft, has been a starter all season. The fact that he was declared out so quickly suggests a potentially serious injury.

The Panthers have installed second-round pick Amini Silatolu as a first-team guard.

Beat writer Joe Person doesn't specify whether Silatolu is working on the left or right side. Geoff Hangartner was the Panthers' right guard last season, but is better suited for the left. The Panthers could max out their offensive line talent if Silatolu and Jeff Otah emerge as the right-side pairing.
