There’s something terrifying about Twitter this time of year. While it is fun to hear about a training camp catch by your favorite sleeper or watch a vine of a lineman mauling his opponent, there is a lingering crossed-fingers feeling of “please just stay healthy.” Every time we refresh our feeds or log in to catch up on the news, we fear the dreaded “Player X is down on the field” update. Today, we had one of those moments, as Panthers sophomore Kelvin Benjamin injured his left knee in a joint practice with the Miami Dolphins.
In the morning, we heard from Head Coach Ron Rivera that the injury was a sprain and Benjamin was headed for an MRI scan. Unfortunately, we have now received confirmation of an ACL tear, via NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. As it is such a common injury in this game, our Dynasty Doctor Scott Peak has previously written an extensive piece on what exactly the ACL is and how it is repaired and rehabilitated which is a must-read. Dan Meylor also knows from experience how devastating this injury can be.
Without their top weapon, things will change for the stock of the Panthers dynasty assets in the short and long term. Who does this affect and how will it affect them?
Kelvin Benjamin, WR (August ADP: 24)
