Returning in 6-8 weeks

ANALYSIS
Corbett sustained an MCL injury in his left knee during the Panthers' Week 2 loss to the Cardinals and was placed on injured reserve later that week, making Week 7 against the Giants his earliest possible return. However, Canales comments Monday indicate that Corbett will be sidelined for several games beyond that. In his absence, Cade Mays is expected to remain the Panthers' top center.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Nearing next steps in recovery
The Panthers are planning to open the practice window for Corbett on Wednesday, Darin Gannt of the team's official reports.
ANALYSIS
Corbett has been sidelined since Week 2 due to an MCL injury. He was given a 6-8 week timeline to return, and it looks like he could return toward the earlier end of that timeline. Corbett can practice for up to 21 days before being activated, so it may still take a few weeks for Carolina's starting center to return to game action.
