Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Chris Brazzell suffered a moderate LCL tear in his left knee during training camp and is expected to be sidelined for about eight weeks. This injury follows the recent ACL tear of linebacker Nic Scourton, further straining the Panthers as they prepare for the upcoming season. Brazzell, a third-round draft pick, is viewed as an important part of the Panthers' offense alongside quarterback Bryce Young. While Brazzell is recovering, the team will likely turn to Jalen Coker, Xavier Legette, and Jimmy Horn Jr. to fill his role in the lineup.
