Brazzell suffered a knee injury during Wednesday's Panthers practice after dealing with knee soreness the prior week. Initially diagnosed with a moderate LCL tear with an 8-week recovery projection, the diagnosis was revised Thursday when Brazzell underwent season-ending surgery to repair the LCL in a mutual decision with the Panthers to protect him long-term. The injury ends his rookie season before he could compete for regular playing time as the Panthers' third wide receiver and field stretcher.

Panthers rookie WR Chris Brazzell II suffered a moderate LCL tear in his left knee in practice and is expected to miss up to 8 weeks. Derek Brown notes this is horrible news for a rookie as he will be unable to build rapport with his quarterback in camp and during the preseason while getting acclimated to the NFL.

Damn, hate this for Chris. Also really brutal for a couple of reasons beyond just how much this sucks for any player as an individual. 1) While it doesn't rule it out, I do think Brazzell's loss makes it more difficult to play TMac in the slot at a high rate, even if he still plays more there than his 15% as a rookie. I believe they drafted him with the specific intent of being a space-clearer for McMillan on the boundary and helping them spread the field in 3- and 4-WR sets. 2) Brazzell is r...

Chris Brazzell will unfortunately undergo season-ending surgery. The original reports never quite added up. The mention of a “tear” and an “8-week recovery” didn’t seem consistent. [Quoted](

JT Sanders’ summer becomes a bit bigger for the #Panthers with Chris Brazzell out. Sanders, in theory, could free up the slot, particularly in the red zone in 11 personnel looks because he’s kind of a hybrid body type. He’s gotten off to a bit of a slow start but had a strong day yesterday. If Mitch Evans and Tommy Tremble are healthy for in-line work, I’d think Sanders would factor into the slot math with McMillan, Coker, Moore and maybe Reed, Metchie or Horn and Tremayne.
