CHARLOTTE
Authentic Danny Shelton Jersey , N.C. (AP) Carolina rookie wide receiver Curtis Samuel is done for the year. The Panthers announced Tuedsay that he will
undergo season-ending surgery on his left ankle and will be placed on injured
reserve.
That means Carolina (7-3) will be looking for a new starting wide receiver heading into the bye week.
Samuel injured his ankle in the third quarter of Carolina’s 45-21 win over the Miami Dolphins on Monday night when a defensive player rolled over his ankle
in the end zone. The team didn’t release the specific injury to Samuel’s
ankle.

”It’s probably going to be by committee,” Shula added. ”One of the best things that happened (Monday) night after Curtis (got injured) is we didn’t
really feel like we missed a beat. Guys coming in and doing their jobs and
knowing their assignments.”
The Panthers traded starting wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin two weeks ago to Buffalo in an effort to get more speed on the field. Carolina’s offense has
excelled since then

Samuel had five catches for 45 yards against the Dolphins, but did drop a touchdown pass on the play in which he was hurt.
”Is there anybody as fast as him? There’s some guys on the team that would say yeah

they do best, and have them go do it.”
Russell Shepard would be one likely candidate to replace Samuel

injured reserve.
The Panthers are also expected to get three-time Pro Bowl tight end Greg Olsen back after the bye week. Olsen has been on injured reserve with a foot
injury, but is eligible to return and play against the Jets on Nov. 26.
