Panthers WR Kelvin Benjamin (knee) avoids major injury

Sep 25, 2017

Wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin avoided structural damage to his surgically repaired left knee on an awkward tackle to the ground that ended his day early in Sunday's loss to the Saints, but his status for the Panthers' Week 4 trip to New England is up in the air.

"He got an MRI last night, and it came back pretty good. We'll see how his treatment goes," head coach Ron Rivera said Monday. "They told me that it had all come out negative and there was nothing structurally wrong, which was good news because it was his repaired knee."

Fantasy Impact:

Benjamin's left leg got caught underneath his body as he was tackled on a catch to end the first quarter. He did not return. Benjamin missed the entire 2015 season after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament in training camp. The Panthers-Patriots game is an early contest in Week 4.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
