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 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.

Panthers' Taylor Moton: Questionable for Week 8
Rotowire
Moton (elbow) was limited during Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Denver.
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.

Head coach Dave Canales told reporters Monday that Moton (elbow/triceps) is considered day-to-day, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports.
The 30-year-old offensive lineman missed the Panthers' Week 6 loss to the Falcons after sustaining a triceps injury the week prior, but Canales' comments Monday indicate that Moton could return as soon as Week 7. Moton's practice participation this week will provide the best indication of his possible return Sunday, when the Panthers take on the Commanders.
