NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Monroe Freeling (concussion) will play in Week 4 against the Lions.

The Panthers entered the season down both of their starting tackles. They will also be without left guard Damien Lewis this week. Getting Freeling back is a big win for Bryce Young and the offense. Freeling has struggled in pass protection so far but is serviceable in the run game.
