The injury occurred during the first day of scrimmages with the Miami Dolphins at Wofford College. Benjamin appeared to slip as he made a cut while running a crossing route. He sat up afterward holding his left leg.
After Benjamin went to the ground, several players from both teams took a knee around him.
Trainers attended to Benjamin and quickly called for the cart to take him into the locker room. Quarterback and close friend Cam Newton helped Benjamin into the cart.
Benjamin is coming off a stellar rookie season, catching 73 passes for 1,008 yards and nine touchdowns. He is the one wide receiver the team probably cannot afford to lose.
