On Friday night, Carolina Panthers backup quarterback Sam Darnold—in his first official outing as a Carolina Panthers backup quarterback—was carted off the field during third quarter of the 2022 preseason finale. And as of now, the outlook isn’t particularly great for the 25-year-old.
According to NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport, the Panthers believe Darnold—who had his foot rolled on by the 290-pound body of Buffalo Bills defensive tackle C.J. Brewer—may have sustained a high-ankle sprain. Head coach Matt Rhule, who did mention after the game that the injury is likely not a fracture, said Darnold is set for an MRI on Saturday.
