Chinn does not need surgery for the injury, the sources said.
He has 23 tackles and a sack in six games this season. He has been a starter for the Panthers since being selected in the second round of the 2020 draft and finished runner-up to Chase Young in the Defensive Rookie of the Year voting that season.
He has 317 tackles, 2 interceptions and 4 sacks in four NFL seasons.
