Report: Kelvin Benjamin did not suffer major injury Sunday
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin did not suffer a major injury on Sunday, according to a report.
Benjamin was tackled awkwardly during Carolina’s loss to the New Orleans Saints, and left the game with a left knee injury. He did not return.
However, the worst fears do not appear to have been realized, with NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reporting that the injury did not appear to be serious.

This will come as a relief to the Panthers, who are already dealing with enough injuries to key players. The wide receiver had caught seven passes for 102 yards over the first two games of the season.
