It's a Torn Achilles for Frank Alexander

Yes, another player we expected big things from this season is now done for the year due to injury.

Amazingly it was also another non-contact injury.

"I'm disappointed for Frank," coach Ron Rivera said after the game. "That's a tough one."

Alexander was the leader to start opposite Charles Johnson on the Panthers defensive front. Alexander was suspended for 14 games in 2014.

"I feel like I was on the right track, but I am going to bounce back from this," Alexander told the Panthers' official website.
