Dave Canales Reports Another Talented Carolina Panthers Offensive Lineman Suffers Major Injury After Loss to Buffalo Bills

NFL free agency: Panthers agree to terms with OL Brady Christensen

Charlotte, NC — The injury nightmare continues for the Carolina Panthers. During his postgame press conference after Sunday’s loss to the Buffalo Bills, head coach Dave Canales delivered devastating news: Brady Christensen, one of the team’s most versatile and dependable offensive linemen, has likely ruptured his Achilles tendon and is expected to miss the remainder of the season.

Christensen, often praised as the “Swiss Army knife” of the Panthers’ offensive line, can play all five positions across the front. Recently, he had been filling in at right guard for the injured Robert Hunt, proving once again his reliability and adaptability.

But Sunday turned from bad to worse. Alongside Christensen’s injury, both center Cade Mays and right tackle Taylor Moton also left the game hurt, leaving the offensive line dangerously thin. Although Austin Corbett recently returned from his own injury, the Panthers’ depth up front remains alarmingly shallow — a serious concern as the season grinds on.


🩹 Injury Woes Reach Breaking Point

The Panthers’ offensive front has been decimated by injuries, forcing the coaching staff to constantly reshuffle line combinations. Consistency — the lifeblood of any successful offense — has become impossible to find.
Meanwhile, quarterback Bryce Young continues to nurse an ankle injury, and with Andy Dalton struggling to perform at an NFL-caliber level, the offensive unit faces an uphill battle.


🧩 Searching for Stability

According to Canales, the team is still awaiting final test results to confirm Christensen’s diagnosis, but all signs point toward a season-ending Achilles rupture.
In an ideal scenario, both Mays and Moton could return next week, allowing the Panthers to field a line of Ekwonu–Lewis–Mays–Corbett–Moton. Even so, losing Christensen — one of the team’s most flexible linemen — is a major blow to an already struggling squad.


💬 A Season on the Brink

Christensen’s injury isn’t just a personnel loss; it’s another emotional gut punch for a team already battling through adversity. With the offensive line in shambles and their young quarterback less than 100%, the Panthers find themselves desperately hoping for good news on the health front.

If there was ever a time for Dave Canales’ leadership to shine, it’s now. Because without some luck — and fast healing — this could be a long, painful stretch for Carolina.

Bills Cheerleader Sues Bills Player for Sexual Harassment After He Relentlessly Flirted With Her – Despite Being Married with a Child
BUFFALO, NY – December 11, 2025 A bombshell lawsuit has just been filed in Erie County Court that has all of Western New York talking. Ashley, the 24-year-old face of the Buffalo Jills and widely regarded as the squad’s most popular and recognizable cheerleader, has officially sued a current Buffalo Bills player for what her legal team calls “persistent and unwanted sexual harassment through aggressive flirting” – even though the player is married with a young child. Court documents obtained today name 27-year-old Shane Buechele – the Bills’ third-string QB who married his high-school sweetheart Reiley in 2022 and has a 2-year-old son – as the defendant. What the lawsuit alleges: Since the start of the 2025 season, Buechele allegedly began sending Ashley private Instagram messages after every home game, complimenting her looks and performances with increasingly suggestive language. Multiple late-night phone calls (some as late as 2-3 a.m.) in which Buechele allegedly complained about his lack of playing time, “just wanted to hear her voice,” and invited her for private coffee meet-ups. Unsolicited shirtless and suggestive photos sent directly to Ashley’s phone. Repeatedly showing up “by coincidence” at community and charity events Ashley was scheduled to attend, creating unwanted one-on-one encounters. In the filing, Ashley states: “I made it crystal clear on multiple occasions that I only wanted a professional relationship and was focused on my career. He completely ignored my boundaries. The middle-of-the-night calls left me terrified and suffering from severe insomnia. This has taken a serious toll on my mental health.” Immediate fallout: The Buffalo Bills have suspended Shane Buechele indefinitely without pay pending an internal investigation. Reiley Buechele has locked all of her social media accounts and has made no public statement. Ashley’s attorney says they will seek damages “well into seven figures” and hope the case sets a precedent for better protection of NFL cheerleaders league-wide. The NFL has confirmed it is monitoring the situation closely and may impose additional discipline. One Bills Mafia is completely split: #TeamAshley supporters are demanding Buechele be cut immediately: “Married with a kid and still doing this? Disgusting.” Others are calling it an overreaction: “Flirty DMs and compliments? This feels like a money grab or a PR stunt.” The case is still in its earliest stages, with an initial court appearance expected in early 2026. What do YOU think – is this legitimate workplace harassment, or is the cheerleader blowing things out of proportion?
