Carolina Panthers offensive tackle Ikemefuna “Ickey” Ekwonu was carted off the field during the team’s Saturday, January 10, playoff game against the Los Angeles Rams after suffering a severe leg injury.
Ekwonu, 25, buckled under the rush of Rams rookie linebacker Josaiah Stewart during the first quarter, immediately grabbing his right leg.
Panthers quarterback, Bryce Young, motioned to the sideline that Ekwonu needed assistance.
While Ekwonu was being carted to the locker room, he pumped his fist in the air and gave a thumbs up to the crowd at Bank of America Stadium.
