SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) - An MRI Thursday revealed Carolina
Panthers starting wide receiver David Gettis tore the ACL in his
left knee and is expected to miss the remainder of the season.
Gettis injured his knee Wednesday night and was carted off the
field after practice. He injured the knee while attempting to run a
route.
Earlier in the night, the Panthers placed defensive tackle Ron
Edwards on injured reserve and replaced him with free agent
defensive tackle DelJuan Robinson, who played 27 games with three
starts in three seasons with the Houston Texans.
Edwards, who received a three-year, $8.5 million contract
extension, tore his triceps in his first practice with the team
Aug. 4. It was expected at the time the Panthers would place him on
injured reserve.
