Panthers wide receiver Stephen Hill is back after knee injury that 'felt like it exploded'

SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- The scream. A bloodcurdling scream.

It echoed throughout the practice fields at Wofford College when Carolina Panthers wide receiver Stephen Hill landed awkwardly on his right knee during the second practice of the 2015 training camp.

“It felt like it exploded,’’ Hill recalled. “My leg was stuck. I was trying to move it back, but there was so much pain I didn’t know what was going on, really.’’

It was so bad that teammates knelt and prayed on the field as trainers carted the 2012 second-round pick of the New York Jets away.
