The injuries on the Carolina Panthers' offensive line continue to mount.
Panthers right tackle Jeremiah Sirles suffered a hamstring early in the first quarter of Friday's 25-14 preseason victory over the New England Patriots. Sirles had to be helped off the field before being carted off to the locker room.
The Panthers entered the game with starting offensive linemen Matt Kalil and Daryl Williams not playing because of injury.
