CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Panthers’ future was put on hold when head coach Matt Rhule revealed Saturday that rookie quarterback Matt Corral suffered a significant foot injury.
Corral suffered a tear of the Lisfranc ligament in his left foot Friday in the team’s second preseason game at New England. The team initially believed Corral was stepped on, but Rhule said he was unsure exactly when the injury occurred.
The team placed Corral on injured reserve Tuesday, ending his season. He’s expected to have surgery on the injured foot, Rhule told reporters Tuesday.
