Panthers star wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin carted off field with left leg

It might not matter.

Ginn posted a 36-556-5 line with Carolina a couple of years ago.

The question now: Where does Carolina go from here? He was targeted 122 times and expect that number to bump up even more with Benjamin out.

Best wishes to Kelvin Benjamin for a speedy and successful recovery.

On the second play of team drills, RB Fozzy Whittaker popped out of a hole on the right side of the line created by RG Trai Turner and RT Mike Remmers.

It’s expected that Corey Brown and veteran Jerricho Cotchery would be the starters entering the team’s preseason game against Miami on Saturday night.

The Carolina Panthers can win without Kelvin Benjamin if Cam Newton keeps getting better.

And while no one has Benjamin’s combination of size (6-5, 245), strength and catch radius, the 6-4, 225-pound Funchess comes closest.

The effect of losing Benjamin for the entire season is going to be monumental.

In addition, Benjamin is coming off a stellar rookie season, catching 73 passes for 1,008 yards and nine touchdowns. Those are numbers that Carolina now has to replace.

“With Benjamin out, they”™ll be doing more with tight ends than they planned.

The Panthers are woefully thin at wide receiver, and Benjamin’s injury could have a negative impact on Newton’s value, which stood as a top-10 fantasy quarterback. The team has lost their No. 1 receiver for the season after an ACL tear took the second-year pro out.

“We tried to stress to our guys that we’re here to work, not here to fight”.

There is still no word on Panthers rookie WR Devin Funchess, the other big man who tweaked his hamstring during the same practice. There’s a good chance Carolina’s playoff hopes hit the ground simultaneously with its No. 1 wide receiver.

“He and Kelvin are different types of players”.

While it will be hard for Funchess to duplicate the success Benjamin had as a rookie, Panthers coach Ron Rivera said Funchess is ready to handle all the Panthers have already dumped on his plate. “He’ll have to step it up and learn that style and technique of play”. Ted Ginn is a journeyman wide receiver with only 11 career touchdowns in eight seasons.

The Panthers confirmed the season-ending injury in a news release.

Welker is also two years younger than Wayne. But he went undrafted out of Ohio State for a reason.

Jonathon Stewart – Finally this guy gets to be the feature back after splitting time with DeAngelo Williams for what seems like the last 100 years.

And yet, all that being said, the Panthers are not doomed. Boykin only had three receptions last year for 23 yards. “Somebody is going to step up”.
