Moton (elbow) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys.
Moton was unable to practice all week due to an elbow injury likely sustained in the Week 5 win over the Dolphins, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined Sunday. Yosh Nijman is expected to step in and start at right tackle in Moton's stead in Week 6.

Rotowire
Moton (elbow) didn't practice Thursday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
The veteran offensive tackle from Western Michigan has logged consecutive DNPs to begin the Panthers' week of practice, suggesting he's trending toward not playing in the Week 6 matchup against the Cowboys. Moton likely needs to upgrade to a full practice Friday in order to not carry an injury designation into the weekend.
Moton agreed to terms Friday on two-year, $44 million contract extension with Carolina, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Moton has been a pillar of consistency since the Panthers selected him in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft, being a useful contributor in both pass protection and as a run blocker, though he's not yet earned a Pro Bowl nod in his career. The 31-year-old starting right tackle is now under contract through 2027.
Moton (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
The starting right tackle missed Carolina's Week 17 loss to Tampa Bay with the knee issue. Moton has started all 13 games he's played in this season and all 112 contests he's suited up for since his rookie year in 2017.

Moton suffered an elbow injury during the Panthers' Week 5 loss to the Bears. It's kept the 2017 second-round pick sidelined for Carolina's last two contests, but he's given himself a chance to return Sunday after logging three consecutive limited practices this week. The Panthers could be without both Moton and fellow tackle Yosh Nijman (knee) for Sunday's game.
