Carolina Panthers cornerback Ross Cockrell went to the ground in apparent agony today after a collision with wide receiver Torrey Smith at practice. Cockrell’s right leg was the apparent location of the injury but there is no news, short of speculation, on the exact nature of the injury. Suspicion is currently some sort of fracture and the descriptions of the scene were ugly.
Could actually hear a bone crack and scream from Cockrell. Players reacting in horror. Awful. Wishing him the best.

While the Panthers don’t have a clear starter behind James Bradberry, Cockrell was right in the middle of a deep group of corners fighting for a place on and on top of the depth chart.
