Phidarian Mathis went down with a knee injury yesterday, and the replays did not look good. He had to be carted off the field and was ruled out for the rest of the game. Ron Rivera didn’t sound positive about his prospects, and reports were consistently negative for his prospects of returning this season. Mathis, along with 2 other players, was getting an MRI this morning to assess the extent of the injury.
Ian Rapoport has the details on Mathis’ knee injury and says it’s a torn meniscus that will require season-ending surgery. He is expected to make a full recovery, and return to the field next year.
