Coach Dave Canales said Monday that Corbett will be Carolina's starting center in 2025, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Corbett had been competing for the role of starting center with Cade Mays during training camp, and now he has ultimately won the position battle. The Panthers are hoping he'll be able to hold up in pass protection after they ran a pass-first offense in 2024, and the veteran's athleticism (5.15-second 40) should help in that department.

Corbett (biceps) has been participating in OTAs, The Charlotte Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Corbett has healed and is in a training camp battle against Cade Mays for the starting center role. Corbett re-signed with the Panthers on a one-year contract in March after a torn biceps ended his 2024 campaign in Week 5.

Corbett (biceps) signed a one-year contract with the Panthers on Saturday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
The deal ensures Corbett doesn't enter the open market as an unrestricted free agent. He converted from right guard to center for the 2024 campaign following the acquisition of Robert Hunt, but Corbett's season came to an end in October after he tore his biceps against the Bears in Week 5. Once fully healthy, Corbett will compete for the starting center job for 2025.

Corbett (biceps) underwent surgery to repair a torn biceps Tuesday, per his personal X account.
EDGE Analysis
Corbett will now begin the long journey of rehabbing from the injury he suffered in Week 5 at Chicago. In the meantime, Brady Christensen figures to continue to operate as the Panthers' primary center.

Corbett (biceps) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Corbett suffered a torn biceps in Week 5 against Chicago and was ruled out for the season, thus this was simply a move to open a roster spot. Brady Christensen is projected to take over as the Panthers' center.

Corbett tore his biceps in Sunday's loss to the Bears and is expected to miss the remainder of the season, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Corbett missed a significant portion of his 2023 season due to a knee injury and will likely suffer the same fate again in 2024. The veteran center will presumably undergo surgery to repair his bicep and eventually be placed on injured reserve. Brady Christensen will likely handle the starting center role for the Panthers moving forward.

Corbett will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of the biceps injury he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Bears, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Corbett exited the game late and never came back after being labeled doubtful to return. The MRI on Monday should give some clarity on a timeline for his return, and how long the Panthers will likely be calling on Brady Christensen to handle center duties.

Corbett (biceps) has exited Sunday's game against the Bears, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Corbett's absence will leave the Panthers down their starting center. Brady Christensen should fill that role for the remainder of the game, assuming Corbett doesn't return.

Corbett, who is coming off offseason MCL surgery, is moving from guard to center ahead of the Panthers' 2024 campaign, Langston Wertz Jr. of The Charlotte Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Carolina spending $153 million on a pair of new offensive guards this offseason, Corbett's positional change makes complete sense. The veteran offensive lineman missed a total of 13 regular-season games in 2023 due to multiple knee issues, and he's had those worked on as well this offseason. Expect Corbett to remain one of the leaders on a totally revamped Panthers offensive line in 2024.

Corbett (knee) participated during Tuesday's voluntary workout, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Corbett closed out the 2023 campaign on IR after suffering a knee injury in a Week 11 loss to the Cowboys. His ability to take part in drills Tuesday suggests the Nevada product's knee is well healed as Carolina begins preparation for the upcoming season.
