August 19th, 2015August 19, NewsLeave a CommentCarolina Panthers receiver Kelvin Benjamin will miss the entire 2015 season after he suffered a torn ACL during Wednesday’s training camp practice in Spartanburg.
About an hour into the first of two joint practices with the Miami Dolphins, Benjamin crumpled to the turf after planting awkwardly in a one-on-one drill against safety Reshad Jones. The non-contact injury to their top receiver is a crushing blow to the Panthers just 25 days before the start of the regular season.
“Obviously, we feel awful for Kelvin,” general manager Dave Gettleman said in a statement. “He’s worked tremendously hard to put himself in a positon to have a strong year. We’re confident he will attack his surgery and rehab with the same determination he has met all challenges before.”

Benjamin, who crushed Carolina rookie receiving records, immediately clutched his knee when he went down. Quarterback Cam Newton then helped load him onto a cart. With his head down and tears in his eyes, Benjamin was then driven off the field past Gettleman.
