CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) \u2014 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
