Veteran left tackle Matt Kalil has been released by the Panthers.
Cam Newton needs to "rebuild" his confidence after it "was shook" during the Panthers' 6-10 season, coach Ron Rivera said.
A family reunion is on tap in Carolina, as former Vikings offensive tackle Matt Kalil is expected to sign with the Panthers and join five-time Pro Bowl center Ryan Kalil, sources told ESPN.
Vikings offensive coordinator Norv Turner resigned after a 20-10 loss to the Bears on Monday night, which was Minnesota's second loss in a row.
In addition to a torn meniscus, Vikings RB Adrian Peterson also has a torn lateral collateral ligament, a team source told ESPN's Adam Schefter and Jeff Darlington.
