Panthers wide receiver David Gettis likely suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during a recent practice.
Gettis underwent an MRI exam, according to coach Ron Rivera, and the Panthers will have more conclusive results of the injury "in about a week."
He'll likely miss the 2011 season.
"It's disappointing because the young man really showed," Rivera said. "He had a good last few days. He's got a bright future. Whatever it entails, he'll get it right and we'll have him ready to go when he's ready."
