Panther WR left early in Week 3
#Panthers coach Ron Rivera confirms WR Kelvin Benjamin’s MRI on his knee showed no structural damage. Good news. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
Nerdy Football Analysis: Benjamin finished Sunday with 2 catches for 8 yards after leaving in the first quarter with a knee injury. While no structural damage is good news, Benjamin could still miss some time depending on the diagnosis. We should know more about his availability for Week 4 later in the week.
More evaluation needed, per source
No significant damage found in Ryan Tannehill’s knee from initial MRI but further evaluation needed, source says. Situation still uncertain. (The Washington Post – Mark Maske)
Nerdy Football Analysis: In other words, Tannehill is not out of the woods yet, although “no structural damage” is almost always a good thing. Matt Moore showed late last season he can capably run the team if necessary and would start if Tannehill is forced to miss regular-season action.
