Sept. 9 – Carolina Panthers defensive lineman Derrick Brown suffered a potentially season-ending knee injury in Sunday’s season-opening loss against New Orleans.
NFL Network reported Monday that Brown’s meniscus injury will require surgery, with the timetable to be determined during the surgery.
It’s unclear how long the injury lasted during the Panthers’ 47-10 loss to the Saints. He recorded three tackles and completed 60 of Carolina’s 66 defensive snaps.
Brown, a 2023 Pro Bowl selection, has started 64 of 67 games since Carolina selected him seventh overall in 2020. He signed a four-year, $96 million contract this offseason.
Brown, 26, has eight sacks, 48 quarterback hits, 21 passes defensed, two interceptions and 248 tackles.
