CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The conditioning of Carolina Panthers wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin has been scrutinized the past few weeks.
Benjamin says he’s fine. Quarterback Cam Newton said it’s more about confidence than conditioning for the 2014 first-round pick.
But in the first two games, Benjamin has played a total of only 17 snaps -- nine against the Titans and eight against Baltimore.
His reps have been increased this week, and the Panthers would like to get Benjamin comfortable with 30 to 35 snaps by the Sept. 8 opener in Denver.
