Panthers speedster Brown uncertain for Seahawks

Published

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Carolina Panthers’ biggest injury concern heading into their Divisional Playoff with the Seattle Seahawks involves their No. 3 receiver. All things considered, that is not bad, but Carolina could certainly use speedster Philly Brown in Seattle.

Coach Ron Rivera said Monday that Brown subluxated his shoulder during Saturday’s Wild Card win over the Cardinals. A subluxated shoulder is generally classified as a partial dislocation. An MRI revealed no structural damage, and Brown’s status for the Seahawks will not be determined for a few days.

“He’ll have to go through the healing, and it’ll be as he can tolerate the pain,” Rivera said. “He’s doing well. He was in this morning, got his workout in, went to the meeting, now he’s back in there getting more treatment.”

Brown had three catches for 37 yards against the Seahawks before he landed on his left shoulder while trying to make a catch in the end zone just before halftime.

It is the second shoulder injury in the past five weeks for Brown, who did not miss a practice after he sprained his right shoulder against the Saints early last month.

Desperate for speed, the Panthers inserted the rookie into the No. 3 role in Week 13. He has caught just 12 passes for 173 yards and a touchdown during Carolina’s 5-1 run, but his ability to stretch the field has helped open up more room for others in the offense.
