Quarterback Sam Darnold leaves Carolina Panthers' victory over Atlanta Falcons in fourth quarter

ATLANTA -- Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold suffered a concussion with 6:58 remaining in Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons, putting his status for next week's game against New England in question.

The Panthers scored a touchdown on the possession Darnold was injured in, and Carolina hung on to win 19-13, ending a four-game skid.

Darnold took a hard hit from Atlanta linebacker Foyesade Oluokun on a quarterback keeper around the left side. The play on first-and-10 from the Falcons' 11 gave Carolina a first down to set up a touchdown run by Chuba Hubbard.
