Kelvin Benjamin is an excellent wide receiver. He was downright stunning at times during his rookie season in 2014.
Unfortunately for the Carolina Panthers, Benjamin went down with a torn ACL during practice on Wednesday. He’ll miss the entire 2015 season as a result.
It’s that kind of news that can stun a team and take the wind right out of its sails.
Benjamin is the clear no. 1 wide receiver for the Panthers and he simply won’t be there for Cam Newton and the rest of the offense like they needed.
For the Jacksonville Jaguars, this opens the door even wider for a Week 1 victory in the 2015 NFL season.
