Panthers TE Mitchell Evans Carted Off at Training Camp Practice
Coach Dave Canales said the second-year tight end got rolled up on and that the team is 'optimistic' the ankle injury isn't serious, pending further tests.
Carolina Panthers tight end Mitchell Evans was carted off the field midway through Tuesday's training camp practice with an ankle injury after getting rolled up on. Head coach Dave Canales said the team is "optimistic" the injury isn't serious, though Evans was set to undergo further tests to determine next steps.
How did the injury happen?
Evans, in his second NFL season, was rolled up on during practice and had to be carted off. Canales did not identify the play or the player involved in the contact but confirmed the ankle as the affected area.
What's the early outlook?
Canales struck a cautiously optimistic tone after practice, saying the team believes the injury may not be serious, though that assessment is preliminary pending a full evaluation. No MRI results or specific diagnosis had been announced as of Tuesday.
Why it matters for camp
Evans is the second Panthers player carted off during camp this offseason, following outside linebacker Nic Scourton's knee injury on the opening day of practices. Losing a second-year tight end to any stretch of missed time would be an early setback for a position group Carolina is still building out.
