After the Panthers dropped to 1–4 with their 37–15 loss to the 49ers on Sunday, quarterback Baker Mayfield had X-rays on his left foot.
The first-year Carolina starter wore a walking boot to his postgame press conference. He told reporters that he suffered a left ankle injury and that “it’s painful,” via The Charlotte Observer. However, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Monday that the X-rays were negative.
Mayfield will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the injury to his left foot and ankle. From there, the Panthers will determine his status for Sunday’s game against the Rams.
