Marquis Haynes carted off Panthers' practice, suffers apparent leg injury

Former Ole Miss standout edge rusher Marquis Haynes was carted off the Panthers’ practice field Saturday morning with a left-leg injury. Carolina head coach Matt Rhule said after practice that it was too early to tell the significance of the injury.

“I have no update on Marquis. We have to get all the testing and all that,” head coach Matt Rhule said, via the team’s website. “We’ll get you something as soon as we know.”

The former fourth-rounder’s injury occurred during an intra-squad scrimmage and immediately favored the area around his knee. Teammates Brian Burns and Matt Ioannidis were on the scene to help place the 235-pounder onto the cart before being taken to get checked out by the Panthers’ training staff.

Haynes totaled eight sacks through his first four seasons in the NFL, including a career-best three last year alongside a career-high 20 tackles.

Carolina Panthers reveal brand-new helmet design for 2022 season

The Carolina Panthers will enter this season aiming for their first winning record since 2017. With plenty of all new pieces on this year’s roster, there’s some excitement starting to build in Charlotte for 2022. The buzz only built when the Panthers hinted at a new look uniform combo.

They finally released the chic, black uni combo with an all new black helmet.

The alternate helmets will make their debut during Thursday Night Football on November 10th against the Atlanta Falcons. While they’ll only make a few appearances this season, it’s a nice rebrand look for a team who wants to compete in the NFC South this fall. Carolina will open the season September 11th against Cleveland before this new look sees the field during Week 10.
