CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) The Carolina Panthers wide receiver position is in a state of flux less than two weeks before the regular season opener.

Panthers coach Ron Rivera said Monday he hasn't decided who'll start at either receiver position in the wake of the injury to Kelvin Benjamin nearly two weeks ago.

Philly Brown can't seem to hold on to the ball - he's dropped five passes in the last two preseason games, including a pair of would-be touchdowns - while veteran Jerricho Cotchery injured his groin last week and remains out of practice and rookie Devin Funchess felt his hamstring tightened up on him late in practice.
