Curtis Samuel Suffers Ankle Injury in Preseason Game vs. Steelers

Carolina Panthers rookie playmaker Curtis Samuel left the team's preseason finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday due to an ankle injury.

According to Joseph Person of the Charlotte Observer, Samuel said the injury was "nothing major" and "nothing to worry about."

He also explained how he initially felt after suffering the injury, saying, "After that I couldn't really put too much pressure on my ankle. I really couldn't walk. But now I'm fine. I just gotta from here take care of my ankle."

The ankle ailment is the latest health issue for Samuel, as he missed much of training camp with a hamstring injury.
