Sam Darnold is expected to miss four to six weeks with what is believed to be a high ankle sprain, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
The Panthers backup quarterback underwent an MRI on Saturday morning after suffering the injury during the team’s preseason finale against the Bills on Friday night. He was scrambling out to his right to make a throw downfield when he was rolled up on by Bills defensive tackle C.J. Brewer.
Darnold was taken off the field on a cart and was quickly ruled out for the remainder of the game.
