Sam Darnold expected to miss 4-6 weeks

Sam Darnold is expected to be out 4-6 weeks with a high-ankle sprain. He is expected to get a second opinion to confirm the injury.

Fantasy Impact: This was great news considering how the injury initially looked. Darnold will likely only see meaningful game reps if Baker Mayfield is injured or ineffective. Mayfield remains the Panthers’ Week 1 starter.
