Panthers rookie WR Chris Brazzell III could miss up to 8 weeks with knee injury, AP source says | National Sports - NFL

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Chris Brazzell III could miss up to eight weeks with a moderate tear of the lateral collateral ligament in his left knee, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press.

The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Wednesday because the team has not addressed details on the extent of the injury. The third-round draft pick out of Tennessee will receive a second medical opinion on the knee following the initial MRI, the person said.
