Derrick Brown

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports Panthers DL Derrick Brown (knee) could miss the remainder of the regular season.

Brown in Week 1 against the Saints sustained an injury to his meniscus. He’ll require surgery and could be out for much of the season. It’s a brutal blow to a Carolina defense that was shredded by Derek Carr and the Saints on opening day. Without Brown, the Panthers almost certainly have the NFL’s worst pass rush.
