Panthers lose Kelvin Benjamin for the year

Kelvin Benjamin

The Carolina Panthers’ worst fears have been realized.

After an MRI scan, the Panthers will be without Kelvin Benjamin out for the entire season with a torn ACL.

The second-year wide receiver was carted off during practice Wednesday morning.

During the practice, Benjamin made a cut on a pass route and crumpled to the ground without anyone touching him, immediately grabbing his knee.

Benjamin had a fantastic rookie season getting 1,008 yards and nine touchdowns off of 73 catches last season. The Panthers will now need to figure out a good solution for this major loss for the Panthers on the receiver front.
