Source: Panthers DT Dontari Poe to have surgery for torn quad
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Panthers defensive tackle Dontari Poe will undergo season-ending surgery for a torn quad on Tuesday, a source told ESPN's Josina Anderson
Poe suffered the injury in Sunday's 34-31 loss to New Orleans Saints.
The 11th pick of the 2011 draft by Kansas City, Poe had four sacks, two shy of his career-high six for the Chiefs in 2014, in 11 games this season. Defensive coordinator Eric Washington last week called Poe the most underrated member of the defense this season
The two-time Pro Bowl selection anchored the middle of Carolina's 3-4 defense that ranks second in the NFL in sacks with 41, three behind San Francisco. Kyle Love likely would move into Poe's role.
