Carolina Panthers rookie receiver Chris Brazzell II will undergo testing on his left knee after he suffered a noncontact injury in Wednesday’s practice, coach Dave Canales stated.
Brazzell, selected in the third round out of Tennessee by the Panthers this year, had missed two practices earlier this week because of soreness in that knee.
“He felt weird on it, sat down. We took him in. We’ll get a full evaluation and get a picture of that, and we’ll give you guys more information there,” Canales told reporters, according to the team’s website.

The injury happened in a 7-on-7 drill, and he couldn’t put weight on his left foot as he was helped to a cart.
He became the recent player for the defending NFC South champions to sustain an injury since the start of training camp last week.
Carolina lost second-year pass rusher Nic Scourton to a season-ending torn ACL last week, and backup tight end Mitchell Evans was carted off Tuesday, although that injury was not as severe. Canales stated Wednesday that exams revealed Evans has a low ankle sprain, and he could return later this week.
The Panthers will be without both starting offensive tackles, Taylor Moton (blood clot/lung) and Ickey Ekwonu (knee), to start the regular season. Also, starting guards Damien Lewis (calf) and Robert Hunt (back) have missed time at practice because of injuries.
The Panthers drafted Brazzell in the third round with an eye toward him becoming a valuable deep threat to pair with last year’s NFL Rookie of the Year Tetairoa McMillan, Jalen Coker and Xavier Legette in a young but developing wide receivers room.
Brazzell ran a 4.37-second, 40-yard dash at the NFL scouting combine in February and has big-play ability that can stretch a defense. He had 62 catches for 1,017 yards and nine touchdowns last season for the Volunteers.
