Brady Christensen
29-Year-Old
Free Agent
Questionable
Injury Achilles
Est. Return 8/1/2026
Signed a one-year, $2.79 million contract with the Panthers in March of 2025.
Cleared for contact
Christensen (Achilles) has been cleared for contact, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
ANALYSIS
Christensen is bouncing back from season-ending Achilles surgery that he underwent this past October, and the free agent is one step closer to landing a contract for the coming campaign. A return to the Panthers is one possibility, but wherever he lands in 2026, the 29-year-old brings multi-position versatility to the table.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Shifting to guard
Christensen is expected to move inside to play guard in 2022, Joseph Person of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Christensen was asked to play at left tackle to end his rookie season in Carolina. However, now that the Panthers have Ikem Ekwonu in the fold, Christensen can kick inside to left guard, his more natural position. He'll have to compete for a starting role with Michael Jordan, but Christensen has enough versatility that he will likely play a significant role for the team in 2022, and he has also taken snaps at center during OTAs.
