Gigantic blow to the Panthers.

....and a gigantic blow to anyone who drafted him.

I hope those ppl that drafted Benjamin in these early drafts got their fantasy insurance

I have him AND Cam on a few teams!

Funchess now out with a hammy as well!

Have you ever seen a more harmless cut that resulted in a torn ACL? I mean, it wasn't a violent sprint 20 yards, plant on Astroturf and blow out a knee kind of move. It was almost three-quarters speed, a little cut and he's down. I know he was in pain, but I didn't expect it to be a torn ACL.

Huge blow to the Panthers. It causes a ripple effect on values to Greg Olson (up), Cam Newton (down), Jonathan Stewart (who knows) and Devin Funchess (way up).

I think it also affects the first round and we'll talk about it on our show tonight. I think the top tier WRs (of which there are 9) are going to go earlier because that second tier from 9-18 are iffy now. Benjamin was the 16th WR being taken and he's gone. Alshon Jefferey is hurt. Mike Evans has QB issues. DeAndre Hopkins has QB issues. If you take an RB early, you might not like the choices at WR coming back.

I might be wrong, but I can see the WRs moving up in picks 1-16.

Glad I haven't drafted him already. I hate seeing that happen to a young up and coming player like that.

I would think the Panthers will want to run the ball roughly 350 times a game now.

Which probably means JStew will get hurt in the first quarter due to the heavy workload.

What about Reggie Wayne's value? He's out there...

They should go get TO and ochocinco

Kelvin, Spiller, K. White, Ertz, Shady, plus many other dinged up folks and we've only been thru 1 week of pre season games...
