Panthers defensive tackle Kris Jenkins has a torn ACL in his right knee and will miss the rest of the season, coach John Fox announced in his news conference Monday. Jenkins hurt his right knee during Sunday's game against New Orleans, an injury which twice forced him from the game. Jenkins was injured when he broke through the line and tried to tackle Deuce McAllister in the backfield in the first quarter. He managed to get only an arm on McAllister before falling to the ground with 6:34 left in the period. Jenkins was helped off the field, and eventually walked to the locker room at the end of the quarter. He returned to the lineup to start the second half, but again went down and had to be helped from the field midway through the third period. He did not return. Jenkins, a two-time Pro Bowl pick, played only the first four games last year before being sidelined with a left shoulder injury.
