CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Carolina Panthers will be without Pro Bowl defensive lineman Derrick Brown the rest of the season.
Brown was placed on injured reserve on Tuesday after a second opinion made it clear he needed surgery to repair a meniscus injury suffered in Sunday's 47-10 loss to the New Orleans Saints.
Coach Dave Canales said on Monday that Brown, who played 60 of 66 snaps, was unaware of when the injury occurred in what was the largest opening-day loss in team history.
"Definitely a huge loss,'' Canales said of Brown's injury.
