Funny how football works sometimes.
The talk throughout the preseason was getting Panthers wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin back to the point where he could play 35 reps or so in the opener.
But Benjamin blew past that number and raised another question with his performance against the Broncos: Are there enough footballs to go around with Cam Newton’s favorite target back in the fold?
Benjamin re-introduced himself to the NFL in a big way last week after a year-long layoff following ACL surgery last August. The 6-foot-5, 245-pound Benjamin caught six passes for 91 yards and a touchdown in the 21-20 loss at Denver.
