Christensen addressed the unfortunate development for the first time this afternoon. He published the following post to his Instagram account, revealing that he underwent biceps surgery earlier in the day:

The 2021 third-round pick had played in each of Carolina’s 33 games over the past two seasons. He had also lined up for every single snap of the 2022 season until the finale, where he sustained a broken ankle in the Week 18 win over the New Orleans Saints.

Despite injuring his biceps during last Sunday’s opener, Christensen toughed it out to complete the contest. He registered 77 offensive snaps in the 24-10 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.

Per head coach Frank Reich—Cade Mays, Nash Jensen and Justin McCray are expected to compete for the new opening at left guard.
