Carolina Panthers news, rumors and injuriesPanthers | Frank Alexander will not appeal Thu, 31 Jul 2014 10:34:14 -0700 Carolina Panthers DE Frank Alexander said he will not appeal his four-game suspension, because he was guilty of violating the NFL's policy. Comment () | Share: Panthers | Kelvin Benjamin sitting Thu, 31 Jul 2014 07:40:43 -0700 Carolina Panthers WR Kelvin Benjamin (knee) is out of practice Thursday, July 31. Fantasy Tip: Benjamin is a low-end WR4 or a good WR5. Comment () | Share: Panthers | Kelvin Benjamin feeling good Tue, 29 Jul 2014 13:55:07 -0700 Carolina Panthers WR Kelvin Benjamin (knee) said his knee felt better Tuesday, July 29, and he could be back sooner than expected. Benjamin suffered a bruised left knee in practice Sunday, July 27. Fantasy Tip: As long as he's healthy, Benjamin could be the Panthers' No. 1 wide receiver and perhaps their main red-zone threat. Still, he's no more than a WR4 in redraft leagues. Comment () | Share: Panthers | Kelvin Benjamin feels great Tue, 29 Jul 2014 10:41:23 -0700 Carolina Panthers WR Kelvin Benjamin (knee) said he woke up feeling great Tuesday, July 29. Benjamin said he will wait for the OK from trainers before returning. Fantasy Tip: This appears to be good news and Benjamin should not miss much practice time. Comment () | Share: Panthers | Thomas Davis drawing from his injury experiences Tue, 29 Jul 2014 08:43:38 -0700 Carolina Panthers LB Thomas Davis has returned three times from torn anterior cruciate ligaments, earning a Pro Bowl berth in 2013, and has used his experience to coax injured Panthers to stay focused, he told NFL Network's Steve Wyche. Comment () | Share: Panthers | Josh Thomas activated Tue, 29 Jul 2014 06:59:02 -0700 Carolina Panthers CB Josh Thomas (undisclosed) was activated from the Non-Football Injury list and is practicing Tuesday, July 29. Comment () | Share: Panthers | Cam Newton taking it easy in practice Mon, 28 Jul 2014 21:09:25 -0700 Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton (ankle) isn't running outside of the pocket during training camp, but he has been able to plant in the pocket to make throws without any complications. Fantasy Tip: Newton should be off and running again when the regular season rolls around, and while running the ball increases the chances he will be injured, his fantasy value is tied directly to his ability to make plays with his legs. Newton has QB1 upside, but given the injury risk, it is safer to draft him as a QB2. Comment () | Share: Panthers | No timetable for Kelvin Benjamin Mon, 28 Jul 2014 16:33:34 -0700 Carolina Panthers WR Kelvin Benjamin (knee) doesn't have a timetable for his return after bruising his left knee, but he is expected to be back in days, not weeks. Head coach Ron Rivera said Benjamin should be back before the end of training camp Aug. 12. So far in camp, Benjamin has looked really good and hasn't dropped a pass during team drills while running with the first-team offense. WR Jason Avant moved up to the first-team offense Monday, July 28, with Benjamin out. Fantasy Tip: Benjamin's injury isn't serious, but he could miss some valuable time with the starters in camp, especially since he's a rookie. Don't expect too much of Benjamin in his first year in an offense that doesn't have many other legitimate receiving threats. Comment () | Share: Panthers | Kelvin Benjamin update Mon, 28 Jul 2014 12:39:10 -0700 Carolina Panthers WR Kelvin Benjamin (knee) has a bone bruise, according to head coach Ron Rivera. There is swelling in the knee but nothing is structurally damaged. Fantasy Tip: No injury is good news, but this is encouraging news. Benjamin should be ready to go before the preseason starts and remains a WR4 option in standard scoring leagues. Comment () | Share: Panthers | Kelvin Benjamin's injury not expected to be serious Mon, 28 Jul 2014 10:11:29 -0700 Carolina Panthers WR Kelvin Benjamin's (knee) left knee injury isn't expected to be serious, and head coach Ron Rivera is optimistic that Benjamin won't miss much time. Benjamin is heading for an MRI exam Monday, July 28. "He's had a great camp," Rivera said. "He came in in tip-top shape and ready to roll. He's one of those guys who spent time with Cam (before camp) working out. It's one of those that we want to make sure and be smart about." Benjamin's MRI results are expected later Monday. Fantasy Tip: Benjamin should see plenty of looks in his first season, but he will be a bit raw as a rookie, so keep that in mind if you draft him for WR depth with upside. Comment () | Share: Panthers | Kelvin Benjamin to have MRI Mon, 28 Jul 2014 07:52:25 -0700 Carolina Panthers WR Kelvin Benjamin (knee) will have an MRI on his left knee. He bumped knees with another player in practice Sunday, July 27. Fantasy Tip: Benjamin has been having a great camp and could serve as a good flier as a WR5.
