Shaq Thompson Likely Done For The Season

Shaq Thompson Likely Done For The Season

one year ago

Carolina Panthers linebacker Shaq Thompson (ankle) suffered an injury to his ankle on Monday night in the Week 2 loss to the New Orleans Saints that is likely to keep him out for the rest of the season, according to sources. Thompson will undergo tests on Tuesday to get more information, but head coach Frank Reich called the injury "significant." Not only did the Panthers lose their second straight game to begin the season, but now they're expected to be without one of their best defensive playmakers for the remainder of the year. The 29-year-old led Carolina's D in 2022 with a career-high 135 tackles in 17 games, so they are going to need someone else to step up in the middle of their defense the rest of the way.
