Panthers' Kelvin Benjamin to start despite setback to left knee

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin will start on Sunday at New England barring a setback with his left knee, coach Ron Rivera said on Thursday.

Benjamin was listed as a full participant in Thursday's practice after spending Wednesday working with the trainer.

"Did a nice job of moving around,'' coach Ron Rivera said. "Looked good out there. He really did.''

Benjamin went down awkwardly in the second quarter of Sunday's 34-13 loss to New Orleans when tackled from behind after a short catch over the middle.
