There was a scary moment in Saturday’s Carolina Panthers training camp when starting right tackle Daryl Williams went down with an apparent non-contact right knee injury about halfway through practice.
Williams had to be carted off the field as players wished him well.
Afterward, quarterback Cam Newton spoke to media and touched on Williams’ injury.
“Just shock,” he said of his reaction to seeing Williams get hurt. “I’m extremely optimistic right now just knowing that, I hope we are overreacting. You never want to see a player like that go down. ...(He) has done such an exceptional job of battling to get the credit that he has deserved, the notoriety this past year and coming into his own this year.
